Sacnoth, a development partner for the console, produced the Dive Alert games in parallel with Koudelka for the PlayStation. Staff included character designer Miyako Kato, co-composer Yoshitaka Hirota, and Koudelka staff member Satoru Yoshieda as director. Dive Alert was Sacnoth's debut title in Japan. Its North American release was delayed due to difficulties releasing the Wireless Link in the region. It saw generally negative reviews from critics, with many faulting its slow pace and game design.
