Synopsis
SeaBed is a critically acclaimed yuri-themed mystery visual novel told through the perspectives of three separate characters: Mizuno Sachiko, a designer plagued by hallucinations of her past lover; Narasaki Hibiki, Sachiko's friend and a psychiatrist researching the workings of human memories; and Takako, Sachiko's former lover who has been rapidly forgetting her past, including how or why the two women drifted apart despite being together since childhood.
All three live in different worlds, but seek the same goal. To separate truth from illusion. To make sense of their own lives.
The Nintendo Switch™ version supports English and Japanese languages and has been updated with improved BGM quality to further enhance the experience.
A gameplay trailer for the game can be seen on the Fruitbat Factory YouTube channel.
SeaBed is now available to play on Switch in the following Nintendo eShops:

Europe and Oceania (€19.99 / £17.99)
Japan (2200 JPY)
An Asian region eShop release is planned for later in 2020 accompanying a Chinese translation of the game.
