So, I'm on a lot of game developer subreddits. The dev of this mermaid cannibalism/corporate management horror game asked for advice on how to get people to click through and play this. People universally started clutching their pearls about "oh no??? cannibalism??? a horror game where you play as the bad guy???"

.... And, uh, I can't speak to the quality of this game, but I told the dev it'd do numbers on Tumblr. Wanna help prove me right?

i do wanna ask (and sorry if this has already been answered haha-) what type of game is it? is it a visual novel/2d game? i am genuinely interested in this because your designs are all so so cute

Don't worry about asking! I don't think I've answered this before and the FAQ stuff I've been meaning to rewrite to have more clarity. The game is a 3D adventure horror, gameplay is a lot like batim but more character-focused and with stuff like a more elaborate fighting system, puzzle system and platforming. Also a LOT more dialogue.

do you think mermaids are more like fish, or people?

art from my game mermaids are seafood (on steam), it's a dystopian psychological horror with a branching story, management elements and toxic yuri. gamble your blood, upgrade your luck with insider deals, and sew fish tails onto human torsos. will you save the mermaids, or sell them to make a living and pay off your debts?wishlist it on steam! feedback is also appreciated <3

From the latest dev log, we present art of the once beloved Henry! Nailing down his expression & general demeanor were very important to making him feel like a real person. So Roddy put a lot of effort into these!

After all as our main character, Henry is rather important! We want the audience to know him inside and out. To understand his best traits.... And his worst... His proudest moments...

His many regrets.
