Synopsis

Seaman is a 1999 virtual pet video game developed by Vivarium. It was originally released for the Dreamcast in Japan on July 29, 1999, and the following year in North America. During the duration of the game, the player must take care of fish-like creatures named "Seaman" and, through the use of a microphone accessory, converse with them. The game was later ported to the PlayStation 2 under the title Seaman: Kindan no Pet - Gaze Hakushi no Jikken Shima in 2001, only in Japan. Seaman was well-received by critics, and would go on to become the third best-selling Dreamcast game in Japan, while overseas it garnered a cult following due to its dark humor, bizarre aesthetics, and innovative gameplay. A sequel, Seaman 2, was released in Japan for the PlayStation 2 in 2007. A new game in the series for the Nintendo 3DS was also planned, but it was cancelled during development.
