Dear visitors

Thank you for your patronage of "Aquarium at August 32nd".

We have started selling VR admission tickets for visitors who wish to experience the immersive experience with a VR headset (HMD).

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3287900/832VR/

This is a separate sales package from the Windows PC version of "Aquarium at August 32nd", so even if you already have a general admission ticket, you will need to purchase a VR admission ticket separately to play the game.

We apologize for the inconvenience, but all of our staff are committed to continuing to explore new experiences on both PC and VR, so we appreciate your understanding.



As explained in the news below, some of the content for the VR version is currently under renovation.

Please note that if you have a general admission ticket and have already enjoyed every corner of the aquarium, your experience may not be what you expected.


When using VR headsets (HMDs) including the "Meta Quest" series, please take a look at the precautions listed in the guide below, as they are widely affected by linked applications such as "Steam VR" and "Meta Quest Link."

Also, since there are individual differences in whether or not you feel comfortable experiencing the visuals with a VR headset, please take care of your health and enjoy the game, such as taking a short break if you feel unwell while playing.

This concludes the information from the aquarium.
We look forward to your continued support of the aquarium.

Visitors who started the game before this update may have saved the screen mode as "Fullscreen", so please change it from the options according to your preference.

- The "Graphics Quality" option has been temporarily restricted so that "Low" cannot be selected.
