Crimson Waves on the Emerald Sea

I'll be honest, I'm usually quite picky with playing visual novels and usually quit midway through if the plot line is dull, I personally thought this would be similar in that aspect nonetheless I was curious by the name and played it  blind without reading anything and I must say, as someone who has played over dozens of visual novels, I think this is definitely one of my favorites. Firstly, I like the atmospheric vibe of the story, it all feels lively and comfortable to play. The art is appealing and especially nice to look at. I like how despite having a set storyline and no options that the player can make, the characters still come off as entertaining. Cecil, despite being a young, naive and awfully blunt child still wants to be a gentleman to the people around him. The rash and impulsive decisions he makes could be rather reckless but at the same time, makes a lot of sense considering his young age. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience and I definitely recommend, I only wish we had more context on Nemo and Ambrose's relationship(especially because Ambrose is my favorite) and we  could see more intimate moments between the two of them lolol

I really enjoyed the game. The music is beautiful, the background art is unique and the character sprites have a certain vibe to it that just adds to the whole atmosphere. My favorite thing was definitely how lively it was despite being a visual novel, the characters moving around and especially Nome's shots got me hooked because it's obvious how much work was put into this. One of the things I didn't like was how the characters reacted with so low emotions to almost everything. (spoiler warning i guess?) 



Cecil had little to no suspission towards Nome, I can understand how it was for the plot but still, Annie's only reaction to finding Cecil was ,,hey we should head home" (yeah she did have some sort of reactions but in my opinion too little considering that her livelyhood depended on if she could find him or not), Cecil's meeting with Lucy felt just kind of... dissapointing. of course that's just my way of seeing things! the only other thing I wan't the biggest fan of was the fact that the game used a lot of ,,tell not show" instead of the other way around. (examples: Lucy telling Cecil about her and Nemo's past, Lucy's uncle telling her what happend could have been shown in flashbacks maybe, but that's just the way I would do it and of curse if somebody preffers the way it is now is completely fine!) And I wish we could have gotten something more done with the pills, since it could cure vampirism maybe try giving it to Lucy with her consent?

I also liked how vampires were treated like normal humans by most of the people until they attacked someone, it's not normally seen in media featuring them. And my friend and I really enjoyed Nome's and Ambresome's relationship, it's cute. And the dialogues were really nice to read. I often have a problem with media where dialogues just feel so unnatural, but I had a good time reading the ones in this project! Overall great game

This was a great experience! It's a solidly written mystery with very fun character interactions, I particularly liked how Cecil is always trying to be a proper gentleman despite being just a little boy with a very sheltered upbringing. It was insanely cute <3 The art is lovely too, with the unique UI details for the two POV characters being a very charming touch, and everything fits wonderfully into the Victorian aesthetic.

I LOVE THE ENDING SO CUTE, AND ART AND STORRY TOO! Also the part with Teddy made me laugh! :)

Question, it does have a good ending? OwO

Also I love the art! <3

Loved it! Beautiful artwork and animations to go with such a cute story. The characters are wonderful, too (though sometimes I want to strangle Cecil for how dense he is). The part with Teddy certainly got me and Leroy is quite adorable. I've got a lot of questions from the ending, so I'm curious to see if you're planning to continue it? If not, that's alright as well - it certain stands on its own feet. Thanks for making this! :)

I enjoyed this visual novel a lot, the music, the art, the story and the setting were engaging. I can see myself coming back to this like an old favorite book. Can't wait to see more from you.
