Blue harpy Games released a new game called Shiftide Sharki and the version is 0.1.6. The game’s story is about What could be sweeter than a quiet life on a distant island? Exactly: a life where your criminal past knocks on the door, the local hospital is falling apart before your eyes, and a mysterious shark-girl’s tail flickers in the window. You are Ray Nochi, a former fixer who, at your uncle’s invitation, lies low back home and suddenly finds himself running a forgotten hospital. From day one, debts pile up, equipment is broken, and nurse Mari never misses a chance to tease you, all while a strange pain nags at your chest. This is a nonlinear visual novel with an open world and life-sim/management elements: explore the island, get the hospital back on its feet, upgrade your home, earn money, and—if you dare—try to build a life with the unpredictable guest with the shark tail. Your choices, dialogue tone, and progression directly change scenes, available options, and even the story’s pace.

Languages This game is created by a single developer, so your support is especially important to make the project better.I have been making this project solo for a year, so your support will help a lot. I poured my heart into it. As the game is chiefly narrative-focused rather than an 18+ scene showcase, the itch.io build is a Lite, censored edition: the story is identical, but all explicit/hentai content has been removed. I have worked on this project for over a year, and while this compromise is difficult, I hope youâll still appreciate the story.
