Oceanarium is a meditative underwater interplanetary exploration game about all the forces that tie the strange creatures of the universe together. You’ll receive mysterious messages, learn how to astral project, and conquer gravity as you navigate a fantastic deep sea galaxy full of alien species.

## About This Game
*~.*~.*~.*~.*~.*~.*~.*~.*~.*~.*~.*~.*~.*~.*~.*~.

A rare planetary alignment has transpired in the universe. The deep sea needs
your help pulling Mother Ocean from her depression spiral for the water ritual
to be complete. You must collect and deliver life energy pearls to the
Nucleoid Portal to awaken her. You’ll receive mysterious messages, learn how
to astral project and meditate with consciousness warriors as you navigate a
fantastic deep sea world full of weird, alien underwater creatures. Will you
be around long enough to experience universal oneness?

Astrologically, on December 21, 2020 a great cosmic conjunction will occur:
the two largest planetary bodies in our solar system, Saturn and Jupiter, line
up in the same sign at the same degree. This event, which astrologers call The
Great Conjunction, happens every twenty years–but 2020’s event is extra
special since Jupiter and Saturn haven’t been this close since 1623! We hope
this piece of art, released on and about this alignment, helps us all prepare
to receive the blessings of change, unity and evolution.
