Shiftide Sharki
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
You used to be the right-hand man of a powerful mafia family. Then someone framed you for stealing $500,000 and five kilos of cocaine. With your former allies hunting you down, you escape to a remote island town. Your uncle offers you the perfect place to disappear: a job running an abandoned hospital that has seen better days. It should have been an easy way to lie low. Instead, you find a mysterious girl with a shark’s tail hiding near your house, armed men begin appearing on the island, and the quiet new life you were promised quickly starts falling apart.
Shiftide is a story-driven dating sim with an open world, blending crime, romance, and the spirit of 1980s and 1990s action movies and comedies. The game is packed with references and nods to cult classics from that era.
This is a dating sim with a full story and an open world. You can expect:
📼 Around 7 hours of open-world gameplay with plenty of things to do.
📼 12 mini-games with upgrades and progression.
📼 A main character inspired by Tommy Vercetti, able to own property and improve it.
📼 A simplified RPG system with dialogue choices and character stats.
📼 A protagonist who acts like an adult, not a whining schoolkid talking to himself for hours.
📼 Content warning: contains adult scenes, violence, and strong language.
This version of the game is fully SFW and contains no NSFW.

Hella fun game even without any nsfw atm, can only recommend it and can't wait for Episode 2! Also, expect to take a few hours to play this through ;)
Gotta say I checked this out at first because I saw it somewhere else but I played through it even without the NSFW. I'm impressed, this is already really good, (the NSFW stuff is basically just a bonus). I hope this keeps up, good work to you dev.
Yes, I’m working on Episode 2 right now. It’s going to be something special, about 30 minutes of pure story mixed with mini games, and with a huge amount of new art. :)
Thank you for the support, it really motivates me to keep going!
Tengo un problema no puedo comprar la TV con los chicos que aparecen en la tienda en la noche y me gustaría saber como puedo arreglarlo
I played the whole episode 1 and only then I get that its sfw version. Is there a way to use my sfw save on nsfw version?
Basically, you can load your save, but any scenes you have not unlocked by progressing through the story will still be locked in the gallery.
thx
好玩👍👍
хотел бы спросить автор почему старую страницу удалили, я хотел найти посмотреть если обновы и чекаю страницы нет тебе забанили страницу или ты удалил
Yes, I had to delete the old page.
Buenas, por un tiempo probé el juego de manera gratuita y a decir verdad me encanto, pero me gustaría saber puedo acceder a la versiones más recientes del juego desde el patreon tanto pc como Android pagando 3 dólares o solo la versión de pc esta por 3 dólares y la de Android es obligatoriamente la opción de 10 dolares?
No, las versiones para todas las plataformas cuestan lo mismo.
La versión más reciente actualmente es la 0.1.8.001 y cuesta 3 dólares.
El precio de 10 dólares corresponde al acceso anticipado a algunas versiones, un mes antes de su lanzamiento público.
Ya veo!! Muchísimas gracias!!!
Me encanto, me gustó la mecánica del juego y además el esfuerzo que uno le puede llegar a poner en un simple juego la verdad. Aunque no lo puedo llamar tan simple porque tiene muchas cosas complejas, está muy bueno y me entretuvo mucho espero la batalla final contra el jefe. Ya soy millonario tengo casi 30k de ahorro
Hi, nice game so far. I do like the managment loop. Only problem I have rn is, that when swimming with sharky to the fishermans hut to get the glasses, the swimming is looped with no progress. Only these golden orbs appear in the lower lane and no rocks spawn.
Turn the sound on in the game.
Thank you very much, it's fixed ^^
Can this game be put on Steam？
