A downloadable game

The goddess Amphitrite, called Salacia by the Romans, was pursued by Poseidon but spurned his advances. She fled to the Atlas Mountains, but after much convincing, finally agreed to marry him.

Inspired by the novel BioShock: Rapture by John Shirley, Salacia is a visual novel taking place in the years of the underwater city's rise, golden age, and eventual fall. As a working-class woman in the 1950s, you come to Rapture with the promise of being able to create a better life for yourself. Meet other denizens, decide whether to alter your genetics and body, and choose who you trust in a city full of deception.

Created for CDM 167 in 2023.

Install instructions

This is a Ren'Py game; after downloading and unzipping the folder, you should only need to click on the game to open it.

In-game, I recommend turning down the music from the options menu, as it can get a little loud at times. The game also has some small visual bugs and a couple of typos, sorry about that.
