What players say

Players call Aquaphobia a short, poetic first-person walk through a water-themed ecosystem. The creepy voice acting and strong atmosphere are praised, but several complain about the sound mixing and mouse controls. At roughly 10 minutes, some say the experience feels too brief for the price.
