About This Game

Aquaphobia is a short, first-person poetic artwork, connecting inner psychological landscapes to exterior ecosystems. Beginning in the subterranean mud tunnels of Redhook, Brooklyn, a morphing water microbe guides the viewer on a journey through roots, water, plants, and sub-city infrastructure. The microbe recites a poem which details a troubled break-up between itself and the viewer. The piece connects the fear of water to our current ecological situation by exploring humanity’s relationship to rising sea levels. Originally made in VR in 2017, in 2023 Aquaphobia makes its premier as a first-person poetic experience - the first part of a series of published works by Jakob Kudsk Steensen.

I like the poem and the weirdness of the game. Honestly, I actually really like the idea of short, poetic games. Unfortunately, I don't think it is a particularly good idea to charge a dollar a minute for your game. I'd really love this for a dollar. https://youtu.be/EUD44Qwoyfo

I've followed Jakob Kudsk Steensen's work for years now, it's always super interesting and engaging. However it has always been at in person installations, until now! This is a really cool poetic work. It's stunningly beautiful, and easily re-playable. Oh yea, it's totally strange in all the best ways. It seems like a forgotten world that was brought back to life. Looking forward to seeing what else this developer puts out there. Would highly recommend this experience as it is something completely different than what else you'd find on the Steam store.

Really short, only couple minutes long narrated atmospheric walking simulator.

Cool idea in theory, but in practice it's an extremely pretentious nonsense. Mouse control is weeeird and the sound mixing is atrocious.

I like existential content but this one just does not deliver. Too short.
