History VideoGame / KarinsSkinDivingDiary

* EverythingsSquishierWithCephalopods:
** Squids are the other "bad" sea creatures you'll encounter during a dive. Having one onscreen increases the chance of encountering the aforementioned DeviousDolphins, though catching them doesn't penalize you as much as the dolphins do (squids only take out 5% of your score compared to a dolphin’s 20%).
** Karin also has a nasty encounter with a giant octopus in some of her diary episodes. She is grabbed by one of its tentacles and is forced to drown, [[UnexplainedRecovery but the Cubot miraculously manages to rescue her, anyway]].

A KineticNovel spinoff title, ''Kana Sinks in the Aquarium?'', was released in 2019. [[AscendedExtra It stars one of Karin's friends, Kana]].

** Kana gets this treatment beyond the game, itself, going from being one of the [=NPC=]s of this game to becoming the titular protagonist of ''Kana Sinks in the Aquarium?''

A KineticNovel spinoff title, ''Can You Sink in an Aquarium?'', was released in 2019. [[AscendedExtra It stars one of Karin's friends, Kana]].

** Kana gets this treatment beyond the game, itself, going from being one of the [=NPC=]s of this game to becoming the protagonist of ''Can You Sink in an Aquarium?''

A KineticNovel spinoff title, ''Can You Sink in an Aquarium?'', was released in 2019. [[AscendedExtra It starts one of Karin's friends, Kana]].

* AscendedExtra: Karin started out as the protagonist of ''VideoGame/AtNightInAPartyTheWhisperOfTheSea'', which was [[TemporaryOnlineContent only available to download as a 2016 Christmas Eve event game]] prior to said game's 2019 re-release within the ''[[CompilationRerelease Fox Eye Limited Game Collection]]''. Upon this game’s full release, Karin now has more exposure as another one of Fox Eye’s many heroines.

This game is a short SliceOfLife of sorts that focuses on Karin's love for sea life and completing tasks for people that she meets, such as gathering certain materials and solving puzzles. Completing tasks unlocks more swimsuits Karin can wear, and gain access to more areas that she can dive into. But by the end, you are simply free to keep collecting fish in exchange for money in order to unlock diary episodes that go more in-depth on Karin and her friends' lives on the Storia Islands through artwork and storytelling. While the game looks innocent enough [[JustForPun on the surface]], this is also the second "Fox Eye [[HotterAndSexier Abyss]]" game after ''VideoGame/BlueGuardianMargaret'', which means that all of the female characters are allowed to [[AvertedTrope avert]] NippleAndDimed unlike all non-Abyss Fox Eye games, alongside other risque moments featured in the game.

* HotterAndSexier: Like the previous Abyss title, ''VideoGame/BlueGuardianMargaret'', this game [[AvertedTrope averts]] NippleAndDimed for all of the female characters, though this game lacks the more HGame-esque material that ''Margaret'' has (such as that game's implied "death-by-rape" GameOver artwork). Even [[ThatOneGuy resident young male Kai]] gets a bit of this treatment through FemaleGaze, where he wears a {{Fundoshi}} that does little to nothing to hide his genitals underneath it.

* AccidentalPervert: After meeting up with Kai on dry land, Karin gets embarrassed at him because his small and tight {{Fundoshi}} [[FemaleGaze makes it very easy to see his penis hiding in it]]. When Karin tries to explain this to Kai, she gets too flustered and CannotSpitItOut to him. [[spoiler:Kai returns the favor in his third diary scene, where unexpectedly encountering Karin topless arouses him to such an extent that he might as well not be wearing his fundoshi at all.]]

* AscendedExtra: Karin started out as the protagonist of ''VideoGame/AtNightInAPartyTheWhisperOfTheSea'', which was [[TemporaryOnlineContent only available to download as a Christmas Eve event game]] hosted by Fox in 2016. With this game’s full release, Karin now has more exposure as another one of Fox Eye’s many heroines.

* StrongFamilyResemblance: Misato and Kana are mother and daughter, respectively, and Karin takes note of how much they look like each other after helping out Kana.

* {{Callback}}: This game seems to be an expansion of the [[TemporaryOnlineContent Christmas Eve event game]], ''Let's Practice, Takahara-san!'', to the point that Karin may be considered an {{Expy}} to Takahara-san. Both games are PointAndClick games that involve playing as a young, black-haired girl that goes deep-sea skin-diving and must be monitored for the risk of drowning during her time underwater. Both games are only controlled using a mouse and, depending on the type of fish, has it either add or deduct points from your score when you click on them. Both games also have a Bonus Rate ScoreMultiplier system that can be ruined, along with your potential reward money, should you allow either girl to drown, with the {{Handwave}} being that the lost money was used for a medical treatment to revive the girl from her drowning.

* SuperNotDrowningSkills: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] for Kai. He is in a diving club that practices certain hardcore diving skills and maneuvers. As a couple diary episodes focused on him show, one of these skills is learning how to pleasantly take a nap underwater without worrying too much about taking a breath. [[spoiler:He loses his composure, and a lot of his breath, after seeing a topless Karin, however.]]

This game stars the [[ProtagonistTitle titular]] Karin, who first appeared in ''At Night in a Party''. She enjoys helping her grandfather Ziji mine for fuel stones in their home of the Shanties Islands, but this resource was quickly running low. Karin later on gained a passion for underwater skin diving and took an interest in finding more fuel stones in the sea floor. But Ziji was worried that Karin would accidentally drown herself from doing this. So he supplied her with a support robot named Cubot. Cubot will monitor Karin while she's underwater and make sure to rescue her whenever she was on the verge of drowning.

* OxygenMeter: [[SignatureStyle As always from Fox Eye]], but this time it's [[SubvertedTrope subverted]]. The meter is invisible, as the game puts more emphasis on Karin's body language, instead (When she's forced to breathe out, she's used half of her air supply. When her face turns blue, she's almost out of air!). Drowning doesn't give the player a GameOver like in other Fox Eye games, but your dive is still ended as you then use the Cubot to rescue Karin, and the bonus rate for the money you can get from your dive will be cut in half. This is actually {{Handwaved}} as some of the potential cash that you could've had was instead used to pay for Karin's medical treatment to revive her from her drowning. Using an Aqua-Cotton lets her stay underwater longer for the duration it is active, but less by refilling her air supply and more by slowing down the rate she loses air while it's in use. This means that Karin can still drown after a long consecutive use of Aqua-Cottons and will still need to surface for a breath.

* MsFanservice: Every single girl in the game have their moments, but Misato stands out due to being an adult woman. One diary episode shows Karin being amused that Misato likes to do sexy poses underwater for a camera, and she also gets to strip naked in one of the secret diary episodes. Just as well, the extremely {{Stripperific}} Black Bikini Karin can earn from Misato is all but stated to have originally belonged to her.

''Karin's Skin Diving Diary!'' is a 2017 PointAndClick AdventureGame made by doujin circle Creator/FoxEye, who previously developed other underwater fantasy games such as ''VideoGame/AquaCube'', ''VideoGame/{{Holdover}}'', ''VideoGame/SacrificeGirl'', ''VideoGame/HadesVanquish''.

* ChainedToARock: This is how Karin meets Kai. She subsequently frees him, but apparently this was apart of the training Kai was doing for the diving club he’s in, and knew how to free himself from the rock, much to Karin's worry.

* UpdatedRerelease: The ''plus'' version of this game features extra artwork in postcards. Also counts as RemadeForTheExport, as this is also the first version of the game to be released in English, while Japanese version of ''plus'' was released later down the line.
