The Sea is Our Stage @seastage.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Today is your LAST DAY to check out @vnstudioelan.com's Fall in Love Visual Novel Festival on Steam, which we were so grateful to be featured in 😌🙏 💙🩷 Check out #FallinLoveFestival: store.steampowered.com/curator/4624... ☠️🏳️‍🌈 Wishlist #SeaStage: store.steampowered.com/app/1118300/...

The key art for "The Sea is Our Stage" featuring Theo and Arianne laying in the water, holding hands and looking at each other, is featured in a graphic promoting the Fall in Love Visual Novel Festival by VN Studio Élan, which runs on Steam from Sep 1 - Sep 9.

A colorful illustration by @ahoguru. In the center, THEO, a muscular pirate with brown skin and black and red hair stands dripping with water. Their hand holds back their hair, and their dark armpit hair is visible. They're wearing a black chest wrap with a skull and crossbones jolly roger on it, as well as bandages on their hands. Their body is scarred in various places. A happy trail pokes out of their pants. Behind Theo is the railing of a pirate ship, as well as some ropes, and the sea is on the horizon.

A colorful illustration by @ahoguru. In front of a red theater curtain stands CAPTAIN ARIANNE REINARD! A pirate captain with white skin and short white hair with pink highlights shaved on one side. She wears a purple coat, white laced shirt, and black pants, and stands proud with a smile and hands on her hips. To her left, we see Arianne in costume as a princess wearing a pink dress and a blonde wig, pretending to cry — A strand of her white hair peeks through the wig. On Arianne's right, we see her again in costume as a nun. She wears a pensive expression and her hands are together in prayer.

A colored illustration by @ahoguru showing a character who appears to bear a resemblance to Theo from The Sea is Our Stage, floating in the water at night. The character is brown skinned, has dark flowing hair, and is completely nude. Their breasts are obfuscated by water. They are smiling directly into the camera.
