Is this story dead?

I don't have any current plans to work on this, but the demo is still freely available. I hope that's okay.

is there gonna be a play in browser version?

(+1)

At this stage, I don't think so, because the game includes some video files, and a lot of high res images which often don't play very well in browser. However, I may change my mind, because I know games that run in browser are way more accessible.

I just found the demo recently and the synopsis is very intriguing !
I'm very excited for this game ๐Ÿ˜Š

I enjoyed it so much! The writing is beautiful, and the music really helps with immersion. Stories where you can play as something alien and monstrous are my favorite, and you conveyed that feeling perfectly. Besides, I'm deeply in love with everything about merfolk ๐Ÿ’™

I do hope you'll have time and wish to continue this story, but if not, I'll still enjoy rereading demo!

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

Can this game be played on phone i tried downloading it but can't seem to open it

Sorry, I haven't designed a mobile version of the game. For now, it can only be played on PCs and Macs.

Hi!!! Ok so, this if it's so COOL !!! I mean it,  and you're writing + the music give me chills. 

Like when I did seen the menu screen, not gonna lie that scared me so bad. I didn't had the courage to put it in fullscreen cause I did think there will be something that will jump on the screen and I don't need this right now cause I seen a horror movie and I remind of it when I need to sleep...

Anyway, like I did said this story is amazing and I really wanted to read a if with mermaids so bad!! Hope you can finish this project and the others too (I seen you did the if "Blood Moon" so when I did saw that it was you who did that if I was surprised!!! I did read that if and I cannot wait to see the next update for "Thicker Than" and this if.) Thx for doing this if and hope you rest when you fell you need to do that!! ๐Ÿฅฐ

Sorry if my English it's bad!!!!

I'm so glad you liked it! I hope I have more time to work on it soon. I really like this idea and think it could turn out really cool. There is just so much going on right now.


Thanks so much for your support!

here are some of the things i'd like to say

1. the menu screen caught me off guard in the best way possible

2. I love the way you wrote merfolk; it was in a way where the merfolk were realistic and animalistic

3. I'd love to see where you'll go with this story, and even if you decide to not develop it any further, I'd still gladly re-read the proof concept demo <3

Oooh I loved this!! The concept is so cool to me, merfolk are very interesting and not something we can usually be in games. I also just love playing as s monster and this really doesn't disappoint. Fingers crossed it goes past just proof-of-concept, Blood Moon was great and I can already imagine this would make a great game too. Either way, thanks for sharing this with us :

I'm so glad you liked it!

This is so cool! Your monsters always feel satisfyingly monsterous, even when they're the POV characters.

aaaaaaaaaaa this was so awesome!! No story ever let me become a merperson before, and the dark twist to it is just *chef's kiss* I love the music, the BG is so immersive too! I'm so excited to read what you come up with! I wonder if will grow legs at some point? I recently watched a dark fantasy horror movie called Mermaid Down ( 2019) and lemme tell ya it was brutal

I like the thought of a beautiful yet murdering machine  of a creature lol also its nice that you let us choose to have a conscience or smth like that. It be kinda "uh" to play as a mindless wild animal lmaooo well, in certain situations, at least. I had fun when we were given the option of what to do with Charlotte (?) and I immediatly went chopchop in several different ways before having to backtrack after feeling bad for her KSKSKSKSKS Anyway, I loved it! i do hope you plan to continue this! Thank you for sharing it with us :>
