Released in February 2024, it achieved 100,000 downloads in just two days, and has since surpassed 600,000 downloads thanks to gameplay commentary and word of mouth on social media (as of June 2025)! With a series of collaboration projects, including a drama CD, a comic book serialization, and various merchandise, the buzz continues to grow! ◆Synopsis That day, a young girl named Suze and her best friend Lulu visited the Bianca Aquarium and enjoyed a guided tour accompanied by the director’s wife, Chris, as a special perk for purchasing premium tickets. Along the way, Suze and the others suddenly lose sight of Lulu and begin searching the aquarium, but before they know it, they have wandered into a spooky world completely different from the aquarium they were in earlier… As Suze explores the terrifying aquarium where aquatic monsters attack, a woman in military uniform and carrying a sword appears before her. Retro is rude to Suze, but she is also searching for another girl named Kitty. Will Suze be able to find her best friend and escape the aquarium…? “Who is the traitor?” 【Product Information】 Title: Aquariums Don’t Dance Genre: Puzzle-solving adventure horror game Platform: Nintendo Switch(TM) / Steam(R) Nintendo Switch / Steam Download Version Release Date: Friday, August 1, 2025 Nintendo Switch Packaged version release date: Thursday, October 30, 2025 Price: [Download version] 2,200 yen (tax included) [Package version] 4,950 yen (tax included) Sales format: Download version, packaged version CERO: “C” (for ages 15 and up) Number of players: 1 Supported languages: Japanese, English, Korean, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional) Original work: Orange Developer: Gotcha Gotcha Games, Frontier Works Publisher: Frontier Works ■Nintendo Switch:
