Aquarium 51

We are actively working on polishing this demo and releasing the full prologue, we're just taking a break after the game jam :) We also plan on releasing the full game for free once we've completed it!

You play as the newest intern at a marine wildlife rehabilitation center that can best be described as… unusual. After four years working on your degree, there’s just one more thing to do - complete your senior internship! Meet your coworkers, explore the aquarium, and help keep this struggling establishment from going under - even if people keep dodging your questions about those eerie sounds coming from the basement.
