I love the down-to-earth vibe the art and music provide for the game's overall atmosphere. My main issue is that there doesn't seem to be a middle or end to this story. We are introduced to characters that we don't have the time to get attached to before it suddenly stops. I can see an interesting modern take on a dark fairytale.

the visuals are really nice, and i like the concept of a modern/urban mermaid :) the story line feels a bit rushed, and i think i would have preferred to spend more time talking to the mermaid and building a believable connection, instead of the conversation with friend. i think it could be improved this way, because a slower descent into obsession and madness will be easier for the player to feel and understand. but thats up to you and the story you want to tell! i had a good time with it either way :D is there any way to save friend's life? i wasnt able to, so i wonder if there is a secret way :o
