Get The Waters Above: Prelude for PC

The Waters Above: Prelude is a prequel visual novel set beneath the Vault of Heaven, a giant dome that covers the earth and separates it from the vast ocean of the heavens. Sea nymphs care for the stars, but magic is fading and the stars are dying. No one knows why, and people carry on as they have for tens of thousands of years. The story follows three sea nymphs and the living embodiment of a star as they search for meaning in their lives and fading world.
