The Deepwater Witch

About this game

In a world ruined by pollution, the oceans have swallowed the lands. Ramil is a scavenger, a lowlife who digs through the trash littering his once idyllic hometown. One day he finds a mysterious girl on the beach. She can't speak, and she says that she doesn't remember where she came from. When Ramil meets her, he is dragged into a surreal dreamscape...but are they dreams or delusions?

As the mysteries surrounding the girl's identity unravel, Ramil is forced to answer a question: What price is he willing to pay to be happy?

The backgrounds are about 75% complete. The script and VA are 100% done, and I'm currently working on the visual assets. I'm looking to fully release this game in Q1-Q2 2026. The Deepwater Witch: Since I put up the Steam page, this game has also gone through quite a few changes, including the game engine change mentioned previously (from Godot to Ren'py). I also hired a background artist to update some of the backgrounds I felt were lacking.
