Love by the Water [v0.5] [CURE]

November 10, 2025F95

Due to an odd connection with the ocean, the protagonist—an avid reader raised by his fisherman father—has never been able to venture far enough away from home to really experience the world around him. Tomorrow, the local school re-opens near the town’s pier, and our self-taught and socially inexperienced protagonist uses it as an opportunity to get out of his shell and make new friends, all the while attempting to hide his family’s secret.

v0.4 Relaunch

– 1,500 new renders: While many of these are strictly visual upgrades for old content, many of these images make up entirely new scenes and interactions that take place early on in the game. I sought to fix early pacing issues, as well as better execute certain characterizations and themes I think I did an amateur job of establishing.

– 50 animations: I spent a lot of the time over the last past few months improving in every facet of development, and I think that’s going to be most clear in my animations. These animations are the best I’ve ever made and showcase the quality I intend to commit to going forward. Those who have played the original chapter know that the two earliest H-scenes don’t features animations at all (they are, instead, just cycling images); these scenes have, of course, been fully redone and extended, as have the rest of the early game H-content. I’ve also begun implementing choreographed timeline animation for non-sexual content that I think (or hope) people will enjoy.

– Updated pacing and changes: I’ve never shied away from the fact that this is a porn game. This is not something I’m ashamed of, and I have no intention of ever being any kind of slowburn. That being said, I do think I treated some characters unfairly in my initial writing, and I wanted to give them a second chance. This means that certain early game H-content that I deem rushed, forced, or exceedingly unromantic has been removed from the game. This primarily affects Nora and her two scenes, both of which have been removed from the story (though the scenes are still playable in the game’s gallery). This is the right choice for her. She deserves romance, wining and dining, etc.

Developer Notes:

Love by the Water is a harem romance with urban fantasy elements. Primarily a sex-comedy, the game is also heavily inspired by the mystery and horror genres.
While majorly focused on school and romance, main plot points see the protagonist grappling with newfound discoveries about his family’s history (and both the abilities and crutches this gives him), as well aggressive offers to buy his family home from a newly arrived industrialist kingpin.
The game features 25 potential love interests of varying depth, including fellow students, teachers, and villains.
Chapter 1 is kind of rough and I am currently in the process of updating it.

FAQ:

Every love interest and h-scene involving the MC is optional and fully avoidable. This does not mean that you can choose to opt out of certain stories altogether. While romance with a character is fully optional, most friendships are not.
The futa/trans tag refers to Frankie, a trans-girl, who is an optional love interest and close friend to the MC.
There is no NTR.
