Our take on Aquadine
Aquadine departs from adventure games that center on physical exploration by presenting its story as a kinetic visual novel. Its structure follows Robin's work, relationships, and discovery of merfolk history rather than emphasizing conventional adventure-game activity.
What is Aquadine?
Aquadine is a kinetic visual novel about Robin Liyun, who works part-time as a gondolier under the alias Ciel while saving money for his mother's hospital bills.
After a mysterious voice leads him to a mermaid, Robin investigates whether Ancient Aquadine was real. The story follows his double life, new friendships, family connections, and discoveries about the merfolk civilization linked to the town's sea deity, Levios.
