A downloadable game for Windows



Ambertide Bay is a cute & cozy third-person aquarium maintainance and ocean exploration game, with inspiration from the 'dream job' and 'fix-it' prompts.

Design Pillars:

  • Caring for the environment & the community
  • Beautifully peaceful water
  • Aquarium decoration

In the warm and sunny Ambertide Bay, you play as Spoon, a cat that has moved away from home to follow their dream of running their own aquarium. Catch fish with your net, re-home them in your aquarium and keep all of your new finned friends happy and healthy!


Greet the locals as they visit your refurbished aquarium to learn more about their lives and the town that they all speak so fondly of. The donations they leave can be used to purchase decorations for your aquarium, livening up the space and providing more beautiful places for visitors to relax and enjoy the atmosphere.

Upgrade your diving net and swimming gear to broaden your horizons, reaching out to exciting new areas in the ocean that host a plentiful array of fish to display in your aquarium. By collecting more and more fish, your journal fills with all sorts of information about your new guests, so use this knowledge to take care of the fish as best you can!

It's a very exciting piece of work!
The game still feels unfinished, but I was very excited to read about the first airmail from my mother and father, the concept art, the unique characters, and the game content within this introductory page, meow~.

Thank you so much for playing our game! Yes, this is super unfinished as it was made as an early prototype for a uni submission. We are going to expand on this during the academic year, so if you want to keep updated please follow the devs. We much appreciate your interest, thank you again
