Bring Your Drawings to Life in Drawquarium, Coming Nov 13
Publisher rokaplay and Berlin-based developer Kaleb (known as byKaleb) have announced that the aquarium simulator Drawquarium will launch on Steam on November 13, 2026.
Drawquarium is a relaxing sandbox simulation game where players can breathe life into their own artwork. You can draw fish, plants, or even various objects like submarines and castles, which then swim around in your custom aquarium. For those who prefer not to draw from scratch, the game offers templates and supports drawing tablets as well as PNG image imports.
A standout feature is the ability to set your completed aquarium as animated desktop wallpapers, allowing your creations to swim alongside you while you work or study. As you care for your creatures and feed them, they grow and can even take on a metallic sheen. Collecting gold scales allows players to unlock new customization options, such as different sand colors, driftwood, or lighting settings.
The developer, Kaleb, is a professional 3D artist from the film industry who taught himself Unreal Engine and Blueprints to bring this personal project to life. The game has already gained significant momentum, surpassing 75,000 wishlists on Steam and garnering hundreds of thousands of views on its trailers.
To support a balanced lifestyle, the game also includes productivity tools like a Pomodoro timer, a task manager, and a stopwatch. A free demo is currently available on Steam for players to try out the mechanics before the full release.
