The game

Magnus Mortuga has been killed. The captain of the world's strangest submarine, he was found in a locked room with an ancient stone cauldron - unsealed and opened for the first time. How did he die? Was it a curse? Perhaps one of his eccentric crew? Or does the bizarre truth run even deeper...

The Real Review

Everyone's raving about The Mermaid Mask, a murder mystery on a bizarre submarine from SFB Games. People love the clever story, beautiful art, and fantastic voice acting, with characters like Sally and Grimoire stealing the show. The puzzles are satisfying, though a few found the difficulty a bit uneven, and performance hitches on some platforms were a minor complaint. It's a must-play for mystery fans on PC, PS5, or Switch, especially if you enjoyed Tangle Tower.
