More than 200,000 wishlists and millions of social media views later, Drawquarium is now available on PC, bringing players’ own underwater creations to life.
Darmstadt, Germany – November 13, 2026. What started as a small, personal game idea inspired by a desire to bring children’s drawings to life has grown into an unexpected internet sensation. Drawquarium, the relaxing aquarium sandbox from solo developer byKaleb and German publisher rokaplay, is available today on PC via Steam, following an incredible response to its original announcement.
A single tweet featuring the game attracted 100,000 likes and nearly 3 million views, helping drive a wider social media response that has reached 9 million people organically on X. With more than 200K wishlists and 100K added since October 26, there’s already a huge amount of interest in seeing Drawquarium come to life.
Created by Kaleb, a 3D artist in the film industry, Drawquarium began with a simple idea: bringing his children’s drawings to life. The result is a relaxing aquarium sandbox where players can draw their own fish, plants, and decorations, then watch their creations come to life in their own little underwater world.
Draw fish in any shape or style, feed them, raise them, and watch them interact, forming friendships, rivalries, and relationships. You might even find a few cute babies joining your aquarium’s family. Players can also create their own aquatic plants, customise their aquarium with a range of decorations and collect golden fish scales to unlock even more ways to personalise their underwater home.
You also don’t need to be an artist to enjoy Drawquarium. A selection of ready-made fish and templates makes it easy to get started, while the ability to upload your own PNG drawings means there’s plenty of room to get creative. For those who want to keep their creations close, Desktop Wallpaper Mode turns the aquarium into an animated wallpaper, letting players watch, feed, and interact with their fish while working, studying, or simply taking a break.
Beyond the aquarium itself, Drawquarium also includes handy tools to help players focus and unwind, including a journal, task manager, and timer.
Drawquarium is now available on PC via Steam, with a playable demo still available for anyone who wants to spend some relaxing, creative time with the game.
Drawquarium is out now and is priced at $11.99 / €11.99 / £9.99, with a limited-time 20% launch discount.
