Deluge: Sermon for the Dead
From the depths I call to thee—
—Lord, hear my cries for mercy.
Spring has come to Abbotsford — while Abe is growing increasingly preoccupied with his duties for the school paper, Rika solicits him to track down a set of human skulls that vanished from the island a century ago. As their search progresses, Abbotsford is shaken up by a string of mysterious abduction cases targeting high school girls.
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.

Good game 🌸
I played the first game and loved it. I'm still trying to figure out if Ina has some sort of a good ending. Rika was my favourite. I really want to congratulate everyone that worked on the game. It was short, but even as someone pretty experienced in visual novels it was honestly such an unique read. I literally just made an account just to comment on this, I hope I can play more team games.
I'm currently having a problem with the Android version of the second game:
As you can see, the name of the character is overlapping with what they're saying. Is there any way to solve this?
Thank you for playing our games and taking the time to write down your thoughts. It's highly motivating to hear that you enjoyed Deluge, especially coming from an avid VN reader!
As for the bug: the android version still does that on small screens (phones). Tablets are okay. It's actually quite easy to fix (Game 1 should run fine on phone), and as we have an update planned soon I'll make sure to take care of it. I'll notify you when it's done, in one or two weeks.
Oh this is awesome! Can't wait and thanks for your hard work! Sorry for the weird English, it's not my native language so it's easier to read than it is to write a lot of the time.
Hi Gracenote! I just put out an improved Android build. It should run well on small screens without dialogue overlapping the namebox.
I've tested it and everything seemed to work. Let me know if you encounter any other issues. :-)
