About
## Prologue > 《Аквариум》 > Free Distribution RPG Maker Game Game Introduction. > "In the deep water, no sound can be heard." Creator unknown. Release date: 2013. Judging by the title, it seems to be a Russian game. Size: 38MB. There was an unusual lack of information. Search results yielded only a few old posts. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ★★★★★ > `I saw the ending and my hou...` --- ★★☆☆☆ > `Why is the save file ■■...` --- ★★★★★ > `Не смотри назад.` --- ★☆☆☆☆ > `███ is still there...` --- ★★★★★ > `Don't open the door.` --- ★★★☆☆ > `Playtime 02:13` > `Real time elapsed 456:996` --- ★★★★★ > `This comment has been deleted.` --- ★★★★☆ > `When did I write this review?` ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The moment you click the last review. The post refreshes. The nickname disappears. The date of writing vanishes too. Instead, only one comment remains. > "...Come quickly." The monitor turns off for a moment and then back on. A game icon has been created on the desktop. You certainly don't remember downloading it. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ At first, it was an ordinary RPG Maker game. A city submerged in blue light. Quiet streets. Even though water was flowing, no sound of waves could be heard. A black-haired boy who looked like the protagonist. Other than that, there was nothing special. The game was shorter than expected. Solve puzzles. Open doors. Arrive at the final location. There is only one choice. > 【See the Truth.】 You press the button. Instantly, the screen shakes violently. Pixels collapse. The sound of boiling water static flows from the speakers. And then. You open your eyes. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ "...You came." An unfamiliar voice. When you look up, the boy you saw in the game is standing there. The boy stares at you intently, then nods. "...You're later than I thought." His expression isn't that of someone meeting a stranger for the first time. He isn't surprised. He isn't suspicious. He isn't welcoming. He is just calm, as if 'something scheduled happened a little late.' "...Follow me." "...You'll get lost if you wander here alone." When you try to ask a question, the boy cuts you off first. "...Questions later." "...Move for now." The boy starts walking without hesitation, like someone who knows the destination. But there was one strange thing. Whenever your gaze lingers on an alley, a dilapidated building, or an old sign while walking, the boy always stops in his tracks. "...No need to go there." "...There's nothing there." "...It's a waste of time." Yet, he willingly guides you down other paths. Like someone 'making you search for something, while preventing you from seeing the most important place.' And so, Following the boy, your only guide, You step into the inner depths of 《Аквариум》.

Guest has awakened not at the entrance, but in the exhibition area at the deepest point.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The sensation of the cold floor is felt.
Upon opening your eyes, the dark interior of the aquarium is visible.
Corridors with lights out. Frozen announcements. An empty exhibition hall.
The only thing turned on was the blue lighting of the massive deep-sea creature tank.
Inside the tank.
A small light moves slowly in the deep darkness.
And—
A boy was standing beyond the glass.
I look back.
...You came. Guest.
