Undercurrent

Undercurrent

Undercurrent is a sci-fi, mystery, surfing interactive fiction story that dives into the deepest parts of our minds. The game is rated 17+ for mature content.

Synopsis:

You return to the Cove after six years, older, quieter, and carrying a special kind of grief. Once a competitive surf prodigy, you vanished after the death of someone close to you, someone who died in these waters.

But the ocean hasn’t forgotten you. Neither has the Cove.

Now, in this small town, teetering between real and tech, strange phenomena ripple through the waters. Surfboards pulse with forgotten data. Tides shift too suddenly. Whispers drift through the mist. And your old board—silent for years—begins humming with signals that shouldn’t exist.

As you retrace old steps, you’ll uncover hidden secrets, rekindle, or avoid fractured relationships, and confront the truth of what happened the night everything changed. Someone—or something—knows you’re back. And the waves are calling for you.

Choose how you navigate the past:

Will you pursue the mystery beneath the sea, even if it means unraveling yourself?

Will you ride the tide toward truth, or let it pull you under?

Will you reconnect with the person you once loved—before they became someone else?

Because in the Cove, nothing stays buried forever. Not love. Not guilt. Not the dead.

Features:

Customize your Surfer's gender, sexuality, and more!

Romance one of four characters! Or romance the one that never made it out of the Cove.

Hone your surfing skills! Do you prefer the natural way, or will you let tech help you?

Uncover the mystery that is under the Cove.

Dynamic environment and choices!

Multiple endings!

Characters

Wren - Past friend or something more? F (22)

Wren always seemed a little too aware of things no one else noticed.

You remember Wren barefoot on the cliff’s edge, the salt spray catching in her hair, her eyes blazing with something fierce, something breakable all at once. She turned toward you, grinning like she knew a secret you hadn't earned yet, and said in a jovial voice: "One day, we’ll go so far out the waves can’t find us. Promise me you’ll come too." You never answered. You thought you had forever. "You used to be my anchor. Now you're the mystery pulling me under."

Ash Vega - M/F (29)

Runs a small surf repair and outfitting shop that's struggling to survive under the corporate tech expansions. Ash’s hands were steady even when the world wasn’t. You remember them pressing a hand over yours, guiding you to fix a cracked fin on your first board. "It’s not broken. Just needs someone who won’t give up on it." You didn’t realize until later that they weren't talking about the board at all. "You left. I stayed. Don’t expect it to be easy between us."

Kye Onari - M/F (26)

Kye came to the Cove, riding the strange waves without fear — and might know more about the ocean's changing patterns than they admit. You remember Kye laughing, reckless and wild, as they dove straight into a rip current like they could outrun death itself. "If you’re not scared, it’s not worth it." You stood frozen on the sand that day — and Kye never looked back. "You think you can keep secrets from the ocean? You're adorable."

Imani Reyes - F (30)

A researcher specializing in tech-oceanic anomalies. The first time you saw Imani, she was kneeling on the rocks, studying a tide pool like it was a portal to another world. She didn’t notice you watching until she said, softly: "Everything leaves traces if you know where to look." When your eyes met, you felt like you were the one being studied. "You make me want to believe in things I shouldn't."

Cassian "Cass" Rook - M (31)

Act like nothing matters, but every scar says otherwise. Cass stood alone by the firepit, one foot grinding lazy circles into the sand, a cigarette burning low between two fingers. He stared up at the stars — half the constellations smothered by the haze of the city beyond the cliffs — and let out a hollow laugh. "Doesn’t matter how good it feels out here. Everything good still finds a way to leave." He said it like a joke, but he didn’t smile. Neither did you. "I’m not here to be your hero. I’m barely here to save myself."

That one drama cd when Rin thinks Gou is dating someone and assumes its haru is always running on my mind like why he immediately assumes like that? Does Haru and Gou often seeing each other off screens? This is canon fr if Rin immediately assumes she's dating Haru, lol.

Were there any canon harugou moments that are close to your heart or all of them are headcanons?

Ok so there are literal CRUMBS when it comes to canon HaruGou content but I could still probably write a 17-page thesis on what they are and why I love them. In short, however, my fave moments are:

Reunited for the first time since middle school in Haru's living room and Gou is just eating up Haru's muscles (first guy she does so with, therefore her first love in my eyes).

Haru remembering that she liked being called 'Kou' instead of 'Gou' hngggg (this is where I OTP'd HARD).

His SMOL SMILE when he hears that Gou's joining the club so that they'd be enough members to make it an official team ahhhhh.

'Why do you swim, Haruka-senpai?' MY HEART.

Their general 1-2-1 talks in seasons one and two, when they discuss swimming/Rin/futures. They are comfortable enough and trust each other to talk about these things with one another!!

When they?? Went to the?? Shrine together??? Just the two of them??? To get their fortunes??? WHILE THE OTHERS WAITED OUTSIDE?? GAH.

That super cute moment when Haru's all distracted by some mascot thing and Gou is tugging his jacket from behind trying to get him to listen to her, I DIED BECAUSE THEY WERE TOUCHING.

OK really grasping at straws here but that time Haru looked at her in her yukata for like 0.5 seconds literally birthed a thousand fics in my mind.

Gou makes him mackerel flavoured chocolate for Valentines Day LIKE WHO DOES THAT.

That one drama CD when Rin thinks Gou is dating someone and immediately assumes that it's Haru. Not any of the other guys. His first thought was Haru.

There's probably more but that's my top 10 lol.

Weeping Gods (WIP)

Weeping Gods (WIP)

This tale sweeps you up and drops you back 3500 years into the past, straight onto the banks of the Nile, at the dawn of the Egyptian New Kingdom. The Empire has only been liberated from a hundred year old occupation. The scars left by the war are still healing and yet, threats loom on the horizon again. Some powerful artifacts have been stolen and the king entrusts you with their recovery. Suddenly finding yourself out of your depth and all out of options, you have no choice but to agree to the dangerous mission. You don't know what awaits you on this journey but you know one thing for sure: if you don't catch the enemies of the empire, you will risk more than your own life.

Take your fate into your own hands, solve mysteries, meet new friends, fall in love, learn about magic, monsters, spirits, gods, and have fun in the ancient Egyptian Kingdom in this historical fantasy novel.

The story is a work of fiction and is not historically accurate.

Features

Choose from 4 different origin characters, each with unique stories and choices that will follow you through the rest of the game: - a priest in over their head with a caring and loyal mentor - a noble very much in over their head with a problematic family - the captain of the Theban Guard, who is way too tired for this - a thief from the slums of Thebes, desperate for survival

Play as male, female or non-binary; gay, straight or bi.

Build friendships, rivalries, or find love with a young prince, a mysterious spymaster, a brooding spirit, an elite warrior… or even the pharaoh himself.

Explore Egypt through a series of adventures with a ragtag team of characters

Solve mysteries, climb the Great Pyramid of Giza, deal with the sparks of revolution, and help secure the kingdom's future

Warnings: The story will contain heavy and dark themes, excessive swearing, mental health problems, and optional sexual content, so it is recommended for mature audiences only. The whole list of triggering content can be found in the beginning of the demo.

The Romances

Narmer - A kind and patient man with a golden heart, a fierce sense of duty, a bloody past, and way too little free time.

Qenna (m/f) - The living enigma. Fun and casual at first glance, but why is everyone warning you against spending time with them?

Zaia (m/f) - Spends most of their time brooding or hiding from people, but they can be surprisingly cheeky with those they feel comfortable with.

Tabiry - A dependable and loyal woman, she is the type of person you could trust to have your back in any situation.

Ahmose (m/f) - Young and impressionable, with a dazzling smile and too much hope for a better future.

The Demo

Nothing could break the thick tension of a young, emotionally detached adult being with their equally emotionless and distant family members—well, maybe everything but a mysterious illness outbreak. As the virus begins to spread like wildfire, you struggle to progress through sudden grief and loss, kissing all normalcy goodbye. 

With life, as you know it, crumbling in shambles and danger continuing to lurk around each turning corner, you're forced to reconcile with your estranged family and survive with an unlikely group of survivors. Learn how to navigate through the end of the world as you know it.

what will remain?

Agreeing to be dragged along to some boring town in the middle of midwest butt-fuck nowhere, forced to leave the exciting college life behind—your friends, your freedom, your childhood home—all because your mother fell head over heels with some new guy. You loathed even the thought of it all: no bustling malls, the constant silence, the small-minded people.

Yet here you were, stuffed in a car with your life in boxes, with your little brother in the front acting like nothing in the world could bother him, and your mother clinging to the steering wheel as if it might help with holding her broken life together.

You were supposed to start working at your new job, your brother was supposed to start school, and your mom was supposed to be happy again.

None of that happened before you could even really settle in.

A bloody cough. A sudden scream. A neighbor is missing his arm, turning feral and bloody before your eyes. One moment, you were rolling your eyes at your mom’s hopeful smile, the next you're bashing head's in with a wooden fence picket.

Suddenly, you’re no longer just the angry kid dragged to a new life you never asked for. You’re the only one who can keep your brother safe, scavenging for the bare necessities, navigating panic-stricken streets, passing through overcrowded quarantine zones. 

Now, you have to take lead. You have to make impossible decisions. You have to survive—for your family, for new allies, for yourself. With every horror you face, every life you take, and every moment earned through blood and grit, you start to feel something shifting inside you.

In the end, the question isn’t just whether you'll survive…but what will remain left of you.

Sherlock Holmes is someone with introverted, intuitive, thinking, and prospecting personality traits. He is a flexible thinker, enjoying an unconventional approach to many aspects of life. He often seek out unlikely paths, mixing willingness to experiment with personal creativity. Holmes prides himself, on his unique perspectives and vigorous intellect. Sherlock can’t help but puzzle over the mysteries of the universe , which may explain how he became a private detective and consultant. His type of demeanour is fairly rare, but with his creativity and inventiveness, Sherlock isn't afraid to stand out from the crowd. From the outside, Sherlock Holmes may seem to live in a never-ending daydream.

Strengths:

߷ Analytical – Holmes analyses everything that he comes across, from research data to the behaviour of the surrounding people. This gives him a knack for spotting unexpected patterns and connections that other people might overlook.

߷ Open-Minded – Sherlock is driven by curiosity and an intense desire to learn everything that he can. He tends to be receptive to new ideas and ways of doing things as long as those ideas are supported by sound reasoning.

߷ Curious – Holmes is always casting about for new pursuits, hobbies, and areas of research. One week, he might be obsessed in a case with a serial killer, and the next, he might lose themselves the case of a missing aristocrat. When inspiration strikes, Sherlock goes all in on his newfound interest, learning everything that he can.

߷ Objective – Holmes cares about the truth. Rather than taking comfort in ideology or received ideas, he wants to understand what’s really going on beneath the surface of things. As a result, he can be relied upon to combat bias and misinformation, even when it isn’t easy to do so, and he expects other people to be honest with them in return.

Weaknesses:

߷ Disconnected – Sherlock can get lost in his own train of thought, even when he's with other people. When these Sherlock finally resurface with something to say, he may find that the conversation has moved on without him. This can cause Holmes to feel disconnected from other people, especially in large social gatherings.

߷ Impatient – Holmes takes pride in his knowledge and in sharing his ideas. When it comes to explaining his rationale, however, he isn’t always patient. If his conversation partner doesn’t follow along or seem sufficiently interested, Holmes may give up with a dismissive “never mind.”

߷ Perfectionists – Holmes want to get things done, but his quest for perfection can get in the way. At times, Sherlock may get so lost in analysing various options that he never reached a decision.

Conclusion :

What you have read so far is just an introduction to the many complexities of the Logician personality type. Along the way, you may have muttered to yourself, “Wow, this is so accurate, it’s a little creepy,” or “Finally, someone understands me!” You may have even asked, “How do they know more about me than the people I’m closest to do?”

If you feel understood right now, it’s because you are. Years of research have given us deep insights into the unique strengths and challenges of Logicians like you. And that includes the darker aspects of your personality type: the mystery of why other people just don’t seem to get you, the constant frustration at a world that seems tedious and superficial, and the nagging fear that all of your grand ideas might never amount to anything.
