Wet Sand is a Ren'Py visual novel and point-and-click adventure from Likho Games, built around a pirate world with fantasy elements and romance. You play as Fabian Brook, a young man who unexpectedly takes command of a ship after chance circumstances. The story follows him as he meets gods, sailors, and other figures while trying to survive a dangerous situation. The presentation uses animated 2D CG artwork and adult scenes, supported by a lengthy narrative.
Development is ongoing with v0.9.1f, released on September 21, 2026, for Windows, Linux, Mac, and Android. It is available in English and Russian, with no censorship. The update adds three major side quests involving the Schultz family, Ethan, and Princess Martha, plus text fixes and clarifications. It also includes a new adult scene with Benno, a brothel scene tied to a document from Madam Nadi, a reworked Anna scene, dates with Anna and Lauren, and extra animated Lauren content.
Developer's description
Wet Sand is a visual novel in a pirate setting with marvelous visual style, NSFW animations and a deep story. Playing as a young Fabian Brook, who by chance became the captain of a pirate ship, you will encounter ancient Gods, daring pirates and find yourself in a whirlwind of events from which it is not so easy to swim away!
v0.9.1f
3 big side quests for the Schultz family, Ethan, and Princess Martha
As usual - a huge number of fixes to past text, adding clarifications, logic explanations, and so on
A new NSFW scene with Benno between quests (you do remember that after each side quest there’s a chance to discuss what happened with the crew and sometimes get something more?)
A new NSFW scene in the brothel, if, of course, you get a certain document from Madam Nadi
Added an image to previous content of Benno being pulled out of the water on Slime Island
Completely redrew and reworked the NSFW scene with Anna (when she didn’t want to give up the map)!
Finally added dates with Anna and Lauren (around the time you can go on a date with Olivia)
Added three whole new NSFW animated scenes with Lauren to earlier content (when she brought clothes after Kvilleten, when the date went according to plan, when you won her in Tailwind on Slime Island)
Added the opportunity to get an NSFW scene with the brothel madam, Madam Nadi, and also get a ticket for unusual pleasures at her establishment
Made other changes to text, ambient audio, and emotions in many places (the file with the completed edits barely opens anymore)
As usual, added new achievements, a bunch of backgrounds, art, and sprites
v0.8.7f
A fix for the issue with Dolores's gift - a comb will appear in the shop and will be available for purchase
Characters have been added to the port and tavern on Kadar to liven up the backgrounds
A filter has been added to the Gallery to make it easier to search for images (QoL)
We've fixed about a dozen minor bugs found during testing (from typos to incorrect display of certain elements)
The scenes with Dolores and Tovenaar from the previous update are now animated
Tasks on the world map now look slightly different
v0.8.5
3 new full illustrations
3 new sprites
1 mini-game
5 new backgrounds
7 NSFW scenes (2.5 of which are not animated yet)
Added clarifying lore texts to previous content (a lot)
Fixed a bunch of punctuation and spelling issues
Made references to certain characters unique (correct spelling of their ranks, social positions)
Added sentence-by-sentence display for the entire previous update (so text appears gradually, not all at once)
Fixed about a dozen logical inconsistencies, with the total number of edits exceeding 8 pages!
Changed Sarah's face to make her colder and more dangerous
Added an icon indicating special dialogue (if it depended on your past decisions)
Fixed instances where the wrong character was speaking a line
Fixed the compass on the slime island (it wasn't pointing north)
Changed the English names of ship locations to better fit the era
Added missing sounds to scenes
v0.8.1f
The hover area for the tracks in the Shah's chambers has been enlarged to make it easier to find.
During the Firestone mining sequence:
The bottom panel is now enabled by default when you enter the game.
When hovering over areas with buttons, the cursor now changes to the standard pointer instead of the pickaxe.
Fixed an issue where Sarifa was incorrectly named in some dialogues.
Some players started experiencing blackouts again during NSFW scenes. This is caused by some issues with sound channel separation. We thought we had fixed the problem, but we hadn't. We had to roll back the change, so it's once again not possible to adjust the sound volume separately in 18+ scenes.
v0.8.0f
8 new detailed character sprites.
11 full high-quality artwork illustrations.
2 NSFW scenes.
10 new background images immersing you in a new atmosphere, previously unseen in the game
Fixed known issues (we tried to add the ability to adjust music and voice volume in NSFW scenes).
Performance optimization.
Minor UI fixes.
v0.7.8f
In the second chapter on the island, we added the sound of leaves to the scene with Benno
Fixed typos in the text that players sent us.
Added 4 new NSFW scenes with cultist Sarah (text, animations) to previous scenes (prison, captain's cabin, corridor with cabins)
Improved and detailed the sprite of Exan de Jirde
Improved and detailed the sprites of Beatrice and Montel, Benno's uncle and aunt
In Dentwon prison, when the cultist is released, added a background with a missing door to the cell (according to Fab's text, he removes it, but the background did not change)
Improved and detailed the sprite of the merchant in Dentwon
Added water to the background before the island during the storm - now it appears in the hold, as described in the text
In Anna's cabin, reduced the shadow of the gun that Philipp asks to find. Now it doesn't stand out so much from the background
In the first chapter after the battle with the smugglers, added a position with closed eyes for the weasel Ordy (when the weasel is lying on the bed).
Updated the sprite of the cultist Sarah so that she stands in a 3/4 position like the others
During Tovenaar's story about the history of the world (after the island), instead of the cabin background, we drew 9 sketches illustrating events from the past
In Anna's cabin, we changed the color of the two dildos to a more natural color
We added artwork of Fabian and Olivia kissing during their date before the storm
In Dentwon, the trade window was updated to match the new one in Fortuna's Shop
Fixed a bug where if you completed only one quest for the elders in Podwodje and left, it was impossible to return to the temple
In the trade window, the button to end the trade has been moved to a more logical location, instead of being at the bottom of the screen
In the mini-game “Drinking” with Ka in the tavern, the background for the tutorial window has been updated, replacing the forgotten test version with the current one
During one of the evening hubs, it was possible to help Miss Brown find her hat. The problem was that if you took the quest but didn't find the hat and went to sleep, the quest remained in the diary forever, but it was impossible to complete it. Now it disappears if you haven't completed this mini-quest
Before starting a new game, we added a window for players who don't know how to turn off mini-games in the options, where you can choose to play with or without mini-games. You can still change this in the options
In the Hissara’s quest, during the escape scene through the caves, we added more sounds for atmosphere
