Love by the Water

Love by the Water is an urban-fantasy harem romance that combines slice-of-life comedy with horror and mystery elements. The player follows Wake Shelley, a reclusive bookish protagonist raised by a fisherman father, whose lifelong anxiety and panic attacks have confined him to his small oceanside home. When a local university relocates its campus to cliffside property overlooking his beach-front property, Wake makes a determined effort to overcome his fears and attend, deciding to finally experience the world beyond his sheltered existence. The narrative explores themes of personal growth, facing internal struggles, and building connections with various characters in a fantasy-tinged setting. The game promises a mix of romantic storylines, comedic moments rooted in everyday situations, and darker narrative elements that blend mystery and horror into its core story. The developers emphasize this is a passion project created with significant effort and care.
