About the Game

From the depths I call to thee—

—Lord, hear my cries for mercy.

Abbotsford is struck by a string of abduction cases targeting high school girls. When Ina enlists Abe to help with her investigation, they become ensnared in a web of conspiracy and horror that pulls them into the deepest depths of the ocean.

In the meantime, campaigning has begun for the town council elections. While political infighting rises to an all time high, Marisa — the new girl in town — takes center stage. She promises stability, but an appetite for uncontested power glistens in her eyes.

Deluge: Sermon for the Dead is an interactive visual novel with psychological and lovecraftian undertones.
