An independent video game developed by Bit-Blot. '''''Aquaria''''' follows the story of Naija, an amnesiac aquatic [[Fish People|Fish Girl]] who has been living in a cave, eating fish for as long as she can remember. Eventually, wanderlust forces her to leave and explore the ocean around her. Not five minutes after she leaves her cave, she encounters a mysterious robed entity, whose touch gives Naija a vision that brings back some of her memories. The entity disappears and Naija follows, leading her on a grand adventure in which Naija discovers more about her homeland than she could have ever imagined.
 
Aquaria was released in December of 2007, winning numerous awards from the independent gaming community as well as widespread praise from gamers.

=== Tropes: ===
 
{{tropelist}}
* [[YouAbility Must Be This TallRequired to EnterProceed]]: You can't proceed through obstacles without the appropriate form. Some of these obstacles are even inside Naija's home.
* [[Action Girl]]: Averted at first by Naija until you unlock the Energy Form. Then she becomes this.
* [[After the End]]: Numerous ones to the point Naija fears she may be the only person left alive.
Line 159:
* [[Wingdinglish]]: The runic text scattered throughout Aquaria is just a different font. Substituting the letters there for English ones can occasionally give a useful hint, such as {{spoiler|at the end of the Mithala Cathedral.}} An alphabet and translations are available online... or if you're feeling lazy, you can just go into the 'gfx' folder and swap the 'aquarian.png' and 'aquarian_alt.png' images, which will replace all the Aquarian text with (bright orange) English in-game.
* [[Womb Level]]: Not one, but ''two''. Mithalas Cathedral has the player {{spoiler|destroying gargantuan body parts}}, and ''then'' there's {{spoiler|The Body, complete with giant blood cells.}}
* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: {{spoiler|The [[Big Bad]] is a young boy who fell into the sea and somehow gained [[A God Am I|godlike powers]]. He created the entire world of Aquaria in attempts to replace his lost mother. Of course, he [[Jerkass|destroys all his creations]] when he discovers that they don't love him like his mother did}}.
* [[You Must Be This Tall to Enter]]: You can't proceed through obstacles without the appropriate form. Some of these obstacles are even inside Naija's home.
* [[Zeppelins from Another World]]: In cutscenes/stinger.
