OmniOkami Games released a new game called Gift from The Ocean and the version is 0.3.3. The game’s story is about A story set in a small coastal town about a girl named Natsumi. She and her friend decided to become a beach lifeguard and signed up for a training course. But as you might have guessed, not everything is so simple in this story. Love for snorkeling carried the red-haired beauty into unfamiliar shallows, where she found something incredible and mysterious. This foreshadowed BIG changes in her life and the lives of her friends. This visual novel is based on a short illustrated work of the same name that I made some time ago. Gift from The Ocean on DeviantArt. The premise isn’t that cliched (at least I’d like to think so) and it doesn’t have an overused “serum story”, but rather a mysterious and mystical plot.

game details

Game Version Changelog:

v0.3.3
Changes:

Fixed Hot Tangerine giant side image bug
Fixed various typos and bad word choices

Developer Notes:

Visual
For this VN I’m using AI tools, Photoshop and my tiny drawing/designer skills. So one of the main goals is to deliver decent, consistent level of visual and interesting, more or less, unique story.

The game features:

4k sprites and backgrounds
Smooth animations, and visual narrative
Almost “artifacts-free” imagery

Music & Sound
The game isn’t silent! The player will be immersed in the atmosphere of island serenity with the help of music and ambient sounds. The game also features various sound effects and voice accents.

Future
This project in the first place was an attempt to try out my skills storytelling, in creating imagery with help of AI tools. Story-wise, nothing big with “branching non-linear narrative”, just a short tale with some additional content alongside (we all want to romance anime-girls sometimes, right?).

Planned features for future releases:

In-game gallery
Couple of characters (both sexes) to have NSFW content with
1 or maximum 2 alternative endings (this will be done after the full release in order to not overpromising)
