A much more macabre twist on the little mermaid, and I did enjoy just how realistically all the characters were written. I especially enjoyed just how much more this iteration on the little mermaid trope focused on the themes of belonging vs alienation, very poignant. It's silly, but it IS nice to see for once friendship prevail over romantic love, it's quite a rarity to see that, let alone in the visual novel genre
Thanks for playing our game!
It's great to hear that all of our carefully-planned narrative design shone through in the script! We went into this project with the initial idea of telling a story about being accepted, and with a monster as the main character, this brought out all sorts of themes in the writing. Friendship prevailing was an unintentional message we happened to fall into, but our writer was delighted by it and we're honestly happy with how it worked out, too!
