Love by the Water

Love by the Water is a 3DCG visual novel for players who want a slow-burn romance drama with a large cast and a lighter comedic streak. It plays best for those who enjoy campus settings mixed with fantasy touches and don't mind explicit content along the way.

Story

Wake Shelley grew up sheltered, raised by his fisherman father in a quiet house by the ocean, and years of anxiety and panic attacks have kept him from ever venturing far from his books. When a university relocates its campus to the cliffs above his home, he decides it's time to finally push past his fear and step into a wider world.

Gameplay

Players guide Wake through his first real exposure to campus life, reading through dialogue-heavy scenes while managing his nervousness and the people he meets along the way. The game layers in a phone interface, hidden clickables, and a small mini-game to reward exploration between story beats. Choices shape how Wake's relationships and confidence develop as the term progresses.

Features

• Animated 3DCG scenes with voiced dialogue and original music
• A phone system and hidden clickables that reward careful exploration
