Shiftide: Sharki [0.1v] - 18+

PATRION | BOOSTY

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.

⭐ Gameplay: Around 4 hours of open-world play with plenty to do.

⭐ Island: Home, Hospital, Town Hall, Forest, Library; locations unlock with progress and time of day.

⭐ Progression: Upgrade stats that affect gameplay.

⭐ Hospital: Improve the facility, hire staff, and raise your own qualifications.

⭐ Daily Life: Upgrade your home, try Uncle’s loot boxes, take on jobs and quests, and keep leveling up. And don’t forget the shark-girl who lives with you.

⭐ Relationships: A wide range of choices lets you role-play and deepen your relationship with the shark-girl.

⭐ Content warning: Contains adult scenes, violence, and strong language.

 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 you’ll still appreciate the story.
