About the Game

Welcome to the Tidepool

The ocean is vast, but your whole world begins in a sunlit pool between the rocks.

In Tidepool, you play as a small fish trying to survive, grow, and find your place in a lively underwater community. Swim through colorful shallows, meet other fish, take on quests, and experience the everyday adventure of life in a tidepool.

Whether you want to roleplay with friends, explore at your own pace, help out the local fish, or simply drift through the water and enjoy the scenery, Tidepool is a casual multiplayer experience about community, discovery, and survival in a tiny world full of life.

Play as Different Fish

Choose from a variety of fish and become part of the tidepool ecosystem. Each fish brings its own personality, look, and place in the community. Are you a curious explorer? A helpful neighbor? A shy little swimmer hiding among the rocks? In Tidepool, how you play is up to you.

A Living Multiplayer Community

You are not alone in the shallows. Share the tidepool with other players as you swim, roleplay, complete quests, and create your own stories together. Make friends, form groups, help other fish, or simply hang out in the water and enjoy the peaceful chaos of tidepool life.

Explore, Quest, and Survive

The tidepool may look peaceful, but life as a small fish is never completely simple. Explore rocky hideaways, sandy pockets, seaweed patches, and hidden corners of the pool. Complete quests for other fish, discover new places, and learn how to survive in a world shaped by the tides.

In Tidepool, you are just one small fish — but even the smallest fish can make waves.
