Out Of Water

This game was a true autumn gift! It immediately immerses you in a special autumn mood – tender and dangerous. The art, the movement of the air, folkloric and historical references – all create a unique atmosphere. I'm especially pleased that the secondary characters are depicted not as shadows but with their own sprites. The lore and artbook further help immerse you in the game world. The player's choices make you think deeply. I didn't want to simply try out options, but rather to truly choose and experience a unique story with the main character. The story is truly well-written, yet doesn't overwhelm players with details that they can explore in the lore if they choose. The trio of love interests/friends has its own interesting dynamic beyond the relationship development opportunities they offer the player. I recommend this game to anyone who appreciates handcrafted art, the power of relationship building, the elusive beauty of nature, and mythology.

Beautiful artworks, great story with good pacing, thrilling twists and atmospheric music!

Overall, it was a pretty engaging experience. The three leads/romantic interests all had convincing perspectives on how to deal with the mysterious force plaguing the village, although Basi is my personal favourite of the lot. I appreciated the worldbuilding the most; I felt as if I was really there in an olden Germanic village, faced with the daily reality of struggle and being at nature's mercy. And I grew pretty attached to the wellbeing of the village as a whole, not just the fates of the leads. The art was also quite nice, accentuating the Germanic atmosphere very nicely. I feel as if the horror and supernatural elements could have been emphasized more though to heighten the tension. In addition, the final reveal was a tad underwhelming to me as I didn't feel much more emotional connection to the past of the village. I wish there could have been some flashbacks to better illustrate the conditions that led to the past tragedy. All in all, I think this is worth playing for fans of dating sims, well-written historical settings, and mythology.

Very enjoyable and interesting game with a beautiful art style and a really nice atmosphere to it. The story and characters kept me invested and the romance path I took was really cute. I recommend it!

I enjoyed it! I was rushing a little to finish my first playthrough because I wanted to get to the end before bed, that's how invested I was. The drawings were super pretty and I enjoyed the characters a lot. I'll definitely will be replaying until I get all of the achievements! A underrated gem for thriller and romance, definitely

IMO this is a well written and interesting story with good characters and an awesome atmosphere. I also really like the art style and music. I wish I could find more visual novels like this.
