SeaBed is a very well written psychological mystery that gives you puzzle pieces in the form of vignettes of the lives of its major characters and gives you the opportunity to figure out these highly complex people as they wrestle with grief, their fuzzy memories and depression. Its writing and the way its main (yuri) relationship is portrayed is refreshingly mature and devoid of the usual VN/anime tropes, and its mystery elements all come together into an exceptionally touching and bittersweet conclusion. The only "issue" I have with it is that its writing, particularly its descriptions of mundane events, can be extensive and dry to the point that I found it difficult to get through at parts. I also wish they'd make it more clear which character is saying which line, as there were times that this caused confusion for me. But that's easy to forgive when it does such a good job at its character writing and unique exploration and portrayal of grief. Highly recommended, even if prob only a smaller group can truly appreciate this kind of storytelling.

Like the wide ocean, it’s not about what appears on the surface. A tempest could be accompanied by a placid underwater, a calm stands above fierce undercurrents. It’s about what is below all of that, the true depth, the almost magical, unknown world of the seabed, where the idiosyncratic and unconstrained sprouts and lies. It can’t be conveyed all at once, you scoop some water but just so much can be held in your hands, so you look for ways to show more without spilling any. These vessels can be a glass, a bucket, a word, a music, a picture, they are all manifestations of the seabed in the real world. There is nothing overly dramatic about it, it’s just how nature works, and in all its simplicity it is such a beautiful place.
