Wet Sand

A linear 2DCG visual novel with point-and-click elements by Likho Games, set in a magical pirate era. You play a young man who dreamed of high status, power and money, then watched it all go to hell. About to end up on the street begging for pennies, the ancient gods step in, and the path that opens for him is unmistakably a pirate's. The frame the dev plays with: people say you should not romanticise piracy, that pirates were terrible murderers and robbers. Sure, maybe. But weren't there also great stories of love and heroism in that era? Hold the rum, here's one.

Likho Games blends the genres deliberately: numerous sea battles, exciting exploration and treasure hunting, puzzles, mysteries and riddles that let you actually live as a pirate captain. Dialogue choices let you decide who is friend or enemy, how to deal with each heroine, and how to handle confrontations - engage in battle, negotiate with charisma, or pay your way out. Both defender of the oppressed and plunge the world into darkness endings are on the table depending on the choices you make over the course of the playthrough.

Kink palette leans adventure-VN soft to medium: romance, monster girl, fantasy, prostitution, voyeurism, stripping, teasing, oral, titfuck, with a male protagonist throughout. Visuals are 2DCG with animations on the important scenes. v0.8.7f is the current free public build on itch.io; Patreon and Boosty backers fund continued development, and the game is also wishlist-listed on Steam for an eventual full release.
