Indoor Shrimp Farming Simulator Demo Hits Steam Ahead of November 19 Release
The demo turns a simple clicker premise into an exploration game before release, and it is the studio's stated first commercial work, so the free build is carrying the game's pitch ahead of the November 19 launch.

Animalsoft released a free playable demo for Indoor Shrimp Farming Simulator on PC via Steam on October 9. The aquarium sim starts as a tank management game where players breed shrimp for money, then shifts into third-person 3D exploration: shrimp leap from the tank, ride a skateboard around town, talk with other shrimp, and take on requests. The demo covers more than 1,700 shrimp color varieties, and firearms appear.
The demo went live on October 9, the start of a run that includes Steam Next Fest: October 2026. Animalsoft describes itself as a small indie studio that has "escaped the tank called a company," with artists and musicians joining on a rotating basis. The studio says the game is its first commercial work and calls it a love letter to video games and all things silly.
The game is in development for PC and scheduled for release on Steam on November 19, 2026. The free demo is available as of the time of writing.
