A downloadable mermaid otome for Windows, macOS, and Linux

THIS IS A DEMO MADE FOR THE OTOME GAME JAM (UPDATED)


When you return to your childhood vacation home to visit your grandfather, your past comes up to meet you in unexpected, aquatically terrifying ways. As protagonist, you are confronted with the reality of what it means to be thrust into the darkest depths of the sea. After seeing the treatment of mermaids above (trapped, despised, eaten), how will you navigate the seas below as a human-turned fish? Will you follow your heart and see this through? Or succumb to the deep?

  • 7k+ words
  • Customizable first name for protagonist
  • Beginning of common route with 4 routes planned
  • 4 hot men, three mermaids and a human (grandpa isn't dateable, sorry)
  • Lovingly crafted sprites and backgrounds by our artists!
  • Partial voice acting
  • Depictions and descriptions of blood
  • Descriptions of violence towards fish/mermaids
  • Descriptions of gore

Sea and romance, mermaids and dangers - what else could you ask for? I really hope that this development will continue and the game will eventually appear on Steam.  The world building, art and atmosphere captured me completely. Thank you for sharing your creativity!
