Shiokaze no Kieru Umi ni

Shiokaze no Kieru Umi ni (潮風の消える海に) is visual novel romance adventure game with explicit adult content. Initially released for PC (Windows) in a downloadable and retail version, four years later the game got a port to PSP platform, but not as a PSP game but as an UMD Video title to be able to retain all the adult content while being rated as a movie instead of a game. Unlike PSP games which are region free, the PSP version is treated as a movie and is region locked accordingly. As such, the UMD Video game version can be played on any UMD video player, which just so happens to be the PlayStation Portable device itself. While the PC version features save and load options, the UMD version uses passwords to continue game progress from a specific point.

The story opens in Yokohama with the protagonist, Susumu Miyachi, staring blankly at the sea and departing ships. By a chance you meet Kousuke Toujou, and start a conversation with her, which eventually brings forth the idea of renovating a submerged yacht. Saying how you'd like to pull out the sunken yacht, renovate it by yourself and sail to unknown places, Susumu gets attracted by your crazy talk and decides to help you with the plan. In your endeavor two more people join the team, Mishio Enokida and Rikako Tsuiki. And thus you and the three girls start working on a plan together, meanwhile overcoming various troubles and deepening bonds of friendship and maybe something more.

Unlike in many other romantic visual novels, you don't have choices and the story takes a very linear course. Gameplay, however, is not much different from a regular visual novel style containing all the regular commands such as auto continue option, skip text, message logs and such. Both protagonist and heroines feature full voice-acting in this game. Background art also features different images for different time of day (e.g. morning, evening).
