About
The popular deep-sea exploration game is returning! Explore a vast underwater world full of freedom and exciting challenges – what you do is up to you. Dive in and enjoy the adventure at your own pace.
Curiosity Takes a Stroll by the Sea
Released for the PlayStation in 1995, Aquanaut’s Holiday is a relaxed 3D adventure game where you pilot a submarine and explore a fascinating underwater world. Unlike many games, it doesn’t have a set goal – it’s designed to let you freely wander and enjoy the scenery, making it an early example of a free-roaming experience.
What You’ve Been Looking for is Right Here
I work at the International Oceanographic Research Institute, and honestly, I was really needing a break. My boss gave me the keys to ‘Holiday,’ their amazing new submarine, and told me to take some time off and explore the ocean. So, I packed my bags and set off on an underwater adventure – it was exactly what I needed to recharge!
Honestly, exploring the ocean is just amazing! You can totally lose yourself doing whatever you want – just chill and swim, hang out with the fish, or even stumble upon old ruins that make you think about who lived there before. It’s a place where you can really let your imagination run wild.
Exploring beneath the waves offers a sense of freedom and excitement. As you chart your designated area of the ocean, you’ll discover both friendly, common fish and fascinating, unusual creatures around every corner.
Remember to build up artificial reefs using blocks. As these reefs get bigger, they’ll attract more ocean creatures.
You’ll discover a unique sense of calm and tranquility here, far from the everyday world. Simply relax, embrace your curiosity, and enjoy your vacation.
Scenes From the Past Come Vividly to Life
ARTDINK’s game now features a “Remaster Mode” with beautifully detailed, high-resolution textures for all the sea creatures. You can now see their patterns and expressions more clearly than ever before.
The game also includes a “Classic Mode” for a retro experience. Plus, you can use screen filters like “Scanline” and “CRT” to recreate the feeling of playing it back in the day.
This package comes with the original game manual, offering a look back at the story and how to play. Why not revisit the stunning underwater world you loved?
