I had such a good time with this game! I was really intrigued by the famiily drama and really liked the pace of it, I never felt like I got overwhelmed with information at any point. I really loved all the lore there was to discover and got really invested in the story. The interpersonal relationships between the princesses was also really fascinating to find out about. I completely understand why Sincorel decided to leave at the end.
The artwork was so gorgeous and I was absolutely immersed in this underwater world. I also really liked the typing mechanic, it was so satisfying whenever I typed the wright answer
The only thing I wished was a little bit different has to do with the design. My eyes aren't the best. I was really struggling seeing the starfish, I wish they could "pop" a bit more. I was also a bit confused because there were the smaller starfish that weren't hiding anything and the bigger starfish, so I thought they were just background decoration and didn't make the connection immediately. I also wish that the pink kaska was more pink, I read it as cream and kept looking for a kaska that was more pink. [Edit: Turns out, that was a bug! I am glad it has been fixed]. But these are really small details compared to how much I enjoyed the game overall.
When I was playing, my theory was that Sincorel ended up doing something blasphemous, creating a potion that tried to mimick the God Wizard and that this specific dynasty got wiped out because of that, and that's why in Lani's present time, nobody knew about the palace. I am glad that it didn't ended up being quite so dramatic, because I was really rooting for Sinny to get a happy ending. My heart broke for her whenever I was reading about how she was locked away and treated like this dirty family secret, and it made me think about how people with disabilites from "important" famliies have been treated historically.
Sidenote: Like others in this thread, I also assumed that Sinny was born with Human legs and had a reverse Little Mermaid situation going on, because I thought it would be a fun idea.
Other sidenote: I loved the implication that the merfolk procreate like seahorses and that it's the stewards that "make the babies for you". I l always love it when fantasy creatures aren't just humans with pointy ears, humans with fins, etc., but actually have their own biology going on.
