About this game
A little sea at the edge of your day
Desktop Tide lives along the edge of your Windows desktop. Fish drift past swaying seagrass while you work, study, or unwind. Move or resize the aquarium to fit your space; when you want to get closer, open the larger management view and make the ocean your own.
Meet neighbors that notice you
Raise young marine fish, give them names, and choose who swims beside you. Drop in live food and watch the chase, or touch a curious sea creature to see how it responds. In Moonlit Coral Bay, the Pearl Octopus hides in a shell, peeks out, lifts a little stone, and reacts to your touch.
Follow the current to new discoveries
Drifting treasure chests arrive over time. Choose a voyage route and a discovery wish, then open your finds to meet new residents and uncover plants, scenery, and supplies. Arrange your favorites and gradually restore habitats for fish, seagrass, algae, microbes, and other marine life. Stored chests wait for you; exploration pauses when storage is full.One game, many ways to feel at sea
Your ocean can brighten into sunlit ruins or turn toward the included Moonlit Coral Bay. Enter the moonlit theme to use its four fish, two companions, scenery, changing light, and ocean moments.
