The Selkie

The Selkie is a 3D visual novel for players who like folklore-flavored corruption stories with a slower, mystery-driven pace. It plays out calm and atmospheric rather than comedic.

Story

A woman arrives in a remote North-West Scottish hamlet and finds its people quietly controlled by Selkies, shapeshifting creatures out of myth. As she digs into the village's secrets, she has to withstand their faerie glamour long enough to stop them before the "Song of the Surf" arrives and their hold over the colony becomes complete.

Gameplay

Progress moves between visual-novel scenes and a resistance-building mechanic: choices and actions raise the heroine's willpower so she can keep resisting the Selkies' pull instead of succumbing to it. As the investigation widens, more people join the effort while the seal folk push harder to corrupt the locals around her, so the player is balancing story discovery against keeping her resistance stat ahead of their influence.

Features
