Sayonara Umihara Kawase Comes to VR With HTC Vive Support

The Umihara Kawase series has been wowing fans with its fantastic simple to learn, yet complex to master fishing hook mechanics since 1994, with the release of the Original Umihara Kawase for the Super Famicom in Japan. But now, it’s latest iteration, Sayonara Umihara Kawase, is getting an update that will change your perspective on the series completely. Literally.

Degica Games and Studio Saizensen are pleased to bring to you the latest free update to Sayonara Umihara Kawase giving the game a whole new Diorama Mode in VR with the HTC Vive!

In this new mode, the world of Umihara Kawase will truly jump out at you. Swing, hang, and launch your way to victory from an entirely new point of view!

Never played Umihara Kawase before? Why not pick up the Umihara Kawase Trilogy today? Umihara Kawase is a puzzle platformer that features an amazing “grappling” hook feature, in which Umihara uses her fishing line and hook to move effortlessly around the environment, while fighting fish themed enemies. The hook mechanic is simple in execution, but mastering it will let you perform expert maneuvers to launch yourself across the stages.

Stages have multiple exits, all leading to different stages, so each time you go through the game, you might take a slightly different path!

In addition, the powerful RPG creation software from Kadokawa and Degica, RPG Maker, now has Umihara Kawase-themed assets available for FREE to all RPG Maker MV owners, so users can create their own Umihara Kawase-themed RPGs!

This pack features all the playable characters from Sayonara Umihara Kawase with Walking Sprites, Facesets, and large portrait!
