About the Game



Explore the everyday life in Mara through unique tales in this slice of life visual novel. Step into the shoes of a diverse cast and get to know the struggles and desires of the inhabitants of this modern-fantasy world set in a tropical archipelago.

Mara is the ocean that brings life to our shores. After the elits, an evil alien corporation, attacked our planet, life is healing and everything got back to normal. But in Qälis, the city island in Mara, normal is just a word.



You will follow Akaji, a procrastinating blacksmith who has to ask for the help of all her neighbors to find Koa, who has disappeared, while dealing with her own struggles.

Stories of Mara describe the little tidbits of life happening in these islands. Embark in a personal journey to find yourself and discover how to bond with others.
