Take a moment to slow down this winter ✨

Zen Aquarium is now 35 percent off during the Steam Winter Sale. Sink into a peaceful saltwater aquarium where fish drift gently through the water, the tank evolves over time, and you can shape a soothing soundscape around you. Alongside ocean ambience, you can layer in cozy elements like fire crackling, cat purring, and other calming sounds to create a warm, relaxing space that feels perfect for winter evenings ❄️

There's absolutely no pressure, no management, and no rush. Just gentle motion, ambient sound, and a calm place to return to whenever you need a break. If you have been waiting for the right moment to dive in, this is a lovely time to start 🐠

Thank you for spending a little of your winter with us. Happy Holidays! ❤️

Love, The Zen Aquarium Team

Zen Aquarium is finally here, and we can hardly believe launch day has arrived. What began as a small idea slowly grew into something our entire team poured their hearts into, and today we’re proud to share it with you on Steam and Mac.

Our goal was to create something calm and unique. Zen Aquarium blends customizable ASMR soundscapes with a living aquarium that evolves over time. From mixing the sound layers to animating each fish, every detail was crafted with care to bring a bit of peace and relaxation into your day.

We are deeply thankful for all the support we’ve received along the way. Now we invite you to dive in, explore, and enjoy the world of Zen Aquarium as much as we enjoyed making it.

T-minus 9 days until launch!

We are so excited to share that Zen Aquarium is almost here, only 9 days away. This has been a true passion project for our team and something we have poured a lot of love and care into.

From the beginning, our goal was to create more than just another idle sim. Zen Aquarium is about well being and relaxation, blending the calm of ASMR with the beauty of a living, evolving aquarium. Every detail, from the soundscapes to the way the fish move, was designed to help you unwind and find a pocket of calm in your day.

Follow us on TikTok for behind the scenes clips and cozy tank footage. Our Discord is also active and always welcoming new members.

We cannot wait for you to dive in and experience it for yourself.
