Its ok, for me the biggest drawback was being confused if they were talking or thinking. Art is decent, and its a good story.

Thanks for commenting! While I tried to keep the script looser for player interpretation, I do agree that the issue you mentioned could come up. It's something that I plan on fixing in one of my later projects, but thanks for pointing it out anyway.

Yknow, i kinda feel bad for Whitney. She definitely comes off as more Tsundere than someone who actually wants to see MC suffer. I kinda wish that trail of cloth lead to some sort of conclusion

Interesting character analysis! I'm not sure if you want me to elaborate on her personality, but I can definitely give you a conclusion as to what ultimately happens. Without spoiling too much for those who haven't played, let's just say that she didn't have a merman to save her when she needed it the most.

This is so adorable!! MC meets a cute merman on a beach, with a blossoming romance between them. (o^ ^o) Though I don't really know for sure if MC is mute (but I will imagine they are), I love how Aquilus is very sweet and gentle with them, so being rude to him was tough for me (>﹏<) Other than that, I enjoyed the game!

Thank you for your thoughts, and I'm glad you enjoyed the game! As for the MC being mute, the role is open to interpretation, so if that's how you see the protagonist, that's totally cool.

This game was really cute! Aquilus was adorable and the story was fun and interesting. I can't seem to get the third ending and the last CG in the gallery. Have you considered making a walkthrough? I can't seem to figure it out haha.

PS. Are you considering ever making a sequel? I'm curious how MC and Aquilus's relationship will develop! Thanks again for making this game :)

Thanks for your kind words, and I'm glad you enjoyed the game! In terms of creating a sequel, it's not currently on my to-do list, but seeing how the relationship and mer-world evolves post-game would definitely be something worth considering.

As for the CG you're having issues getting, is this CG the one in the bottom right of the gallery, or the bottom left?

Please consider it, I would love to see that! And it's the CG on the bottom left of the gallery, sorry for not being clear!

No worries! I don't want to spoil too much here, but to get that CG in particular, let's just say it involves constantly showing your vulnerable side to Aquilus and pushing him to make the wrong decisions. It's not a canon ending so it's a lot harder to get, but if you're still having trouble, let me know and I'll put up a walkthrough!
