Today, we’re diving into the weird, witty world of Seaman, the 1999 Dreamcast simulation that let players raise a bizarre, human-faced fish—and talk to it. We begin by exploring the career of Yoot Saito, from his early days in experimental media to the creation of SimTower and the founding of his own studio, Vivarium. Then, we’ll chart the development of Seaman, from its humble Mac prototype to its unlikely resurrection by Sega, complete with complex AI, evolving life stages, and full voice recognition—all packed into one of the most surreal games ever released. Finally, we’ll look at how Seaman became a cult hit thanks to Leonard Nimoy’s narration, clever localization, and its undeniable strangeness. So plug in your microphone and prepare for judgment as we dive deep into Seaman on today’s trip down Memory Card Lane!
