Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea

Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea is a pseudo-RPG with a heavy story focus, made by Deep-Sea Prisoner in RPG Maker 2000. The story centers around the game’s titular protagonist Wadanohara, and her homeland, the Blue Sea. In 2020, a reboot of the game was released with some new features. Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea revolves around a sea witch named Wadanohara and her familiars Memoca, Dolpi, and Fukami, who return to the Sea Kingdom after hearing how it is at war with the Totsusa Kingdom. During the time Wadanohara spends trying to prevent the war, she is demanded by her ex-familiar Samekichi to leave the Blue Sea.

Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea is explored using the arrow keys. Confirming an action can be done with the Z, enter, or space keys, while canceling out of an action can be done with the X or escape key. Money and EXP (experience points) can be obtained after defeating an enemy. Money can be used to obtain items in the shop, while EXP can increase a character’s level, which lets them learn more skills that can be used in battle. When the player interacts with an enemy, they will engage in a battle with them that shows their HP (health points) and MP (magic points). They are given three options: “Battle,” “Auto,” and “Escape.” When choosing the “Battle” option, the player will be greeted with four more options: “Attack,” “Magic,” “Guard,” and “Item.”

“Attack” will make the character attack the enemy regularly. “Magic” will let the player choose a variety of skills to attack the enemy with. The skills a character has are obtained throughout the game as their EXP is increased. Each skill contains a short description. The more critical a skill is, the more MP it will cost. “Guard” allows the player to guard whichever character from the enemy in a turn. “Item” allows the player to use items during battle, either to increase HP or MP or attack the enemy, and other such things. Each item contains a short description. The “Auto” option in battle lets the battle happen automatically; the actions a character will take against the enemy are chosen randomly. The “Escape” option allows the player to escape from battle. Some battles will not show the “Escape” option, such as certain boss battles.
