SUMER has announced the PC simulation game The Little Aquarist, currently in development, with its Steam store page now live. Players will take over a long-neglected small aquarium shop, caring for fish and serving customers while gradually turning the store into a cozy spot in town.
Aquarium design is one of the game's core features. Players can add decorations like sand, aquatic plants, rocks, and mushroom houses to create various miniature underwater worlds, then choose fish suited to each layout and watch them adapt to their new environment.
During management, players must clean the tank glass, check water quality, and trim plants to keep the fish healthy. When customers arrive, players need to select fish according to their requests, catch them with a net, and bag them for delivery; satisfied customers may return for future visits.
As the business grows, players can expand the shop, add more tanks, and hire helpers. They can also set aside management goals and simply enjoy watching the fish swim.
