Announcing Crimson Waves on the Emerald Sea: Amaranthine Moon, the standalone sequel to our previously released visual novel Crimson Waves on the Emerald Sea!

Synopsis:

In an alternate Victorian world, vampires are part of every day life. But when an actual cure to vampirism is discovered, not everyone takes too kindly to the disturbance in the status quo...

Determined to make her own destiny as she turns 18, the young head of her family Lucie plunges headfirst in the conniving world of business dealings. Before she's able to seal the deal on a revolutionary treatment to vampirism, her business partner suddenly dies. Lucie finds herself embroiled in the middle of the mysterious death of her former partner and an event from a decade prior...

Otome Jam:

As part of this year's Otome Jam, we released the first demo for this new project, with the full release slated for the end of 2024. This project is a standalone otome sequel to CWES, following Lucie about 5 years after the events of the first game as she decides what she wants out of life- but life has much more in store for her when her almost business partner winds up dead.

There's a survey at the end of the demo so if you end up playing all the way through it then we'd appreciate feedback so we can make the rest of the game better!

The Team:

Most of my games are solo ventures, as was the original Crimson Waves on the Emerald Sea, but for this one I wanted to have a team to help with development.

Director – Arimia

Writer – Runa

Runa Liore Winters is a writer and game developer whose work explores the mysterious, horrifying, and comforting things hiding in the dark. She frequently writes religious horror, queer romances, classic mysteries, and supernatural adventures with influences ranging from Shirley Jackson to 07th Expansion. On a typical day, Runa is typing at her desk, thinking about girls, and indulging the whims of her devious cat, Trundle.

Editor – Iron

Iron is an editor who has been around in indie VN spaces since 2018 and has recently gotten back into editing work. CWES-AM is her second game with Crystal Game Works – she previously edited Asterism. You can find her on Discord in the DevTalk server, and her (mostly unused) X account is @Ironforpistons.

Sprite Artist – kokokuhi

CG Artist - meiiqu

A lot of work went into it in the past 2 months and I hope it shows in the demo!
