About the Game

Crimson Waves on the Emerald Sea: Amaranthine Moon is a Victorian vampire mystery otome game about love and lost time. 

Lucie is the young head of her family, and as she turns 18, she is determined to make her own future with her cure to vampirism. She plunges headfirst into the conniving world of business dealings. Not everyone is as interested in a change to the status quo, though, as her business partner ends up dead. In solving the mystery of his death, she becomes entangled in a gruesome event from a decade prior.

Crimson Waves on the Emerald Sea: Amaranthine Moon is the otome standalone sequel to Crimson Waves on the Emerald Sea, a Victorian vampire visual novel previously released in 2021. This visual novel is set around 5-6 years after the events of the first visual novel, following Lucie as the main character now that she’s an adult.
