A downloadable game for Windows

A mermaid explores the depths in this eerie puzzle exploration game.

WASD - Move

Mouse - Move Camera

SPACE - Swim Up

Left Shift - Swim Down

H - Hint

It might be quite tricky to do without using the hints, but I included the hint button just in case .  Listen for important sounds and explore high and low.  Collect pearls and activate switches.

I was going for an environmental narrative with this project and tried to keep HUD to a minimum this time. Hopefully it isn't too difficult to find your way.

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS GAME!!! I have always wanted a game where you can explore underwater as a mermaid so finding this is a dream come true. And it's a really cool game in general, you've created a great setting and interesting mechanics (really like the use of sound for helping to solve puzzles). Took a bit of time to get the hang of the controls and even with the low rez version the framerate chugged a bit (which is probably more due to my laptop than the game itself) but I really enjoyed exploring the environment and solving the puzzles. The atmosphere is hauntingly eerie yet beautiful, it had me mesmerised all the way to the end. Awesome game, I love it and I'm probably going to play it again very soon.

Thank YOU so so much for checking it out and for your kind feedback! I can't say enough how happy I am to hear that you enjoyed it and had some fun with it!!!

I'll have a look and see if I can try to optimise it even further as I think there may be one or two other things I can do to squeeze it for performance.

I definitely think it could be something I could look at expanding as well.

Thank-you so very much once again :D.
