Drawquarium is out now on Steam, and it arrives with serious momentum behind it. The cozy aquarium sim from solo developer byKaleb and publisher rokaplay passed 200,000 wishlists before launch, adding 100,000 of them since October 26, and it is available now for $11.99, €11.99 and £9.99, with a 20% launch discount.

The hook is simple and hard to resist: players draw their own fish, plants and decorations, then watch them come to life in a virtual aquarium. “Every fish that players draw feels a little like magic,” said byKaleb, the solo developer behind Drawquarium. “Players can draw anything and watch their creation actually swim, eat and grow. It just goes to show how powerful an idea this is.”

Once the fish are swimming, the game becomes a gentle management sim. Players feed and raise their fish, watch friendships and rivalries form, and welcome babies into the tank. Golden fish scales can be spent to unlock new ways to personalise the aquarium, while a journal, a task manager and a timer help players keep track of their underwater world. For players who would rather not draw, ready-made fish and templates are included, and the game also lets players upload their own PNG drawings. A Desktop Wallpaper Mode turns the aquarium into a living desktop background.

The launch follows a remarkable run-up on social media. A post from the Drawquarium account about the wishlist milestone passed 100,000 likes and close to 3 million views, and the game has now reached 9 million people organically on X. “We are overjoyed,” said Patrick Pütz, Head of Marketing at rokaplay. “The response shows that players were ready for a game like this.” A free demo is still available on Steam for players who want to try drawing their first fish before buying.

Humanity’s last hope is now a mission you can step inside. Project Hail Mary: Journey Among the Stars is out now, a mixed-reality adventure that tells a previously untold chapter of Andy Weir’s bestselling sci-fi universe.

The immersive mixed reality experience launched on PICO, Android XR and Meta Quest 3/3S. It comes from Maze Theory, the award-winning London-based immersive entertainment studio behind Peaky Blinders: The King’s Ransom and Doctor Who: The Edge of Time.

Players step into the role of Ryland Grace. Ryland Grace and his friend and crewmate Rocky must work together in the face of disaster to keep the Hail Mary intact and bring their world-saving cargo to Eridani — Rocky’s home planet, and Grace’s new home.

It is a story of trust and communication between species. As this mixed-reality experience blends your physical environment with the Hail Mary itself, players diagnose problems, improvise solutions and push the limits of science and engineering to keep the mission alive.

Along the way, players work alongside Rocky to keep the mission alive, diagnose failing systems and improvise scientific solutions, and manage their ship and its precious cargo as they travel through the stars — experiencing humanity’s last hope firsthand.
