Genuinely suprised at how underrated this one is, considering the utter QUALITY. Seriously, everything from the art to the story to the voice acting its all utterly PERFECT. The story progression isn't too fast nor too slow, and builds up tension oh so well. Though everyone on the cast did a great job in voice acting, the star of the show(the mermaid) completely steals the show. I was actually taken aback by having a genuine siren song in-game and, well, hypnotisingly beautiful. Nailed it. The UI is cute too, it's a creative take with it being a folder and all. Love the SCP vibes this has going on.

The only critique I'd have for the game is some general bugs in regards to the audio(though they might just be choices made rather than bugs). I think the audio for voiced lines tends to start a little later than I'd like, and I found myself sometimes skipping dialogue once I read it only to back-pedal to hear the voiced line. At one or two points, the audio just seemed to, cut off? Like, the first two sentences were voiced and then the rest of the same paragraph just got cut off in a way that didn't seem entirerly intentional

all in all though, 5/5 star game 

also, love the fish. Idec, I'll match her freak(turning me into the same creature as her in a gruesome fashion)

Thanks for the fish!

Absolutely adore the art. The VA has also been top-notch. Very fitting music and general mood!

Really loved your take on mermaids. Cute but dangerous!

I'm actually really glad that more and more people are making yuri horror mermaid games and this one delivered, I really love Lauren's voice for Carmilla, it's really creepy and draws you in. I didn't expect that dating a mermaid would give Dawn a lots of benefits. Really enjoyed this one. 

you NEED to tell me where you're finding this specific niche of VNs, I may be obssessed just from this one alone

Great game and creepy af! Loved the character designs as well
