Wet Sand

A Pirate Visual Novel

Sail the Savage Waters with Fabian Brook and his crew: explore, make choices and romance any heroine you like.

The Log of Fabian Brook

A Tale from the Savage Waters

An ordinary, sloppy guy who got into a series of misadventures — and somehow woke up captain of a pirate ship.

Falsely accused of theft, Fabian hides aboard a pirate ship. When the captain dies under mysterious circumstances, the pirate code hands the ship to him. Now he has to win the respect of his crew, keep his own skin intact and find out what really happened.

Ahead lie boarding raids, harbor taverns, treasure hunts and the sunken city of Podwodje. Your choices shape the story.

Chapter IV

Dive Beneath the Waves

Far below the Savage Waters lies Podwodje, an ancient sunken city.

Breathe underwater and walk its glowing streets, meet the aquanites, the cecaelia and the shark folk, unravel the city's riddles and face mortal danger for the first time in Fabian's unlucky life.

Romance Any Heroine

Fifteen and more sail with Fabian. Everyone has a story to tell — and a secret to spring. Romance is optional: win whichever heart you like, each with her own route, dates and scenes.

Fierce, quick with a saber and quicker with a temper. Respects boldness and a cunning plan; sweet talk gets you nowhere.

“If you disappear again — I'll tie you to my bunk. Forever!”

  • A quiet date aboard
  • Animated 18+ scenes
