A New Wave of Adventure in Gaming

The renowned game development company, ARTDINK, has announced exciting news for fans of classic video games. The highly anticipated 'ARTDINK GAME LOG: Aqua Note's Holiday' is set to be released on April 23, 2026, for both Nintendo Switch and Steam platforms. This title is a part of the broader ARTDINK GAME LOG series, which aims to revive and modernize beloved classics from the company's rich history.

What is the ARTDINK GAME LOG Series?

The ARTDINK GAME LOG series has been launched to bring back iconic games like 'A Train', 'Atlus', and 'Carnage Heart' to new gaming hardware. With this project, ARTDINK not only preserves the legacy of its game development journey but also reintroduces classic titles with enhanced technology, allowing both old and new fans to experience these gems in a fresh light.

Dive into Aqua Note's Holiday

'Aqua Note's Holiday' is a free-roaming 3D adventure that invites players to explore the mesmerizing depths of the ocean in a submarine. Originally released in 1995 for the PlayStation, this game was groundbreaking at the time, offering a unique environmental experience that paved the way for future titles in the exploration genre.

Explore at Your Own Pace

Unlike traditional games, 'Aqua Note's Holiday' has no specific objectives. It encourages players to venture into unknown waters, engaging with the environment at their own pace. Whether it’s leisurely swimming, interacting with colorful fish, or discovering ancient ruins, players can immerse themselves in an ocean of curiosity. Enjoy a day off where freedom reigns supreme, and go wherever your imagination takes you.

A Challenge Awaits

The underwater world is filled with both freedom and challenges. As players navigate these uncharted territories, they’ll encounter familiar fish and peculiar creatures that ignite excitement and wonder. Players can aim to complete their map or build reefs by stacking blocks, enhancing the aquatic life that visits these vibrant structures. In the depths of this ocean, players will find a tranquility that can't be matched above water.

Revitalizing Nostalgic Landscapes

The ARTDINK GAME LOG series also introduces a Remaster Mode, enhancing the textures of aquatic life to high-resolution, making those intricate details truly come alive. For players who wish to relive the experience of the original game, a Classic Mode is available. Additionally, players can enhance their nostalgic journey with screen filters replicating the look and feel of the era, reminiscent of the time they first enjoyed the game.

The remastered game will also include a collection of background stories and gameplay guides from the original manual, inviting players to return to the beautiful world beneath the waves once more.
