Award-winning indie game Aquaria now available


Gamers clamoring for something other than high-definition, high-poly shooters would be wise to check out Aquaria, a long-anticipated release from independent developer Bit Blot, and winner of the 2007 Independent Games Festival's highest honor.

Aquaria tells the story of Naija, a magical being traveling the depths of the ocean in search of her family. The game features a unique blend of exploration, battling, and crafting, all presented with incredibly high production values, effectively raising the bar for the entire indie community.

Aquaria is currently only available for PC, although Bit Blot states that they are working with Ambrosia Software to port the game to the Mac platform in the near future. A demo of the first part of the game is also available. Trust us, this one is worth playing.
