Dark Parables: The Little Mermaid and the Purple Tide Collector's Edition

It is an aesthetically pleasing adventure puzzle game! I really like it and its relaxing to play at night.

The first DP game with Eipix is pretty good the Dialogues are different but not too bad and its harder to find all the parable fragements. The parables arent voiced like the first games but that is not too bad. Sadly they used the same minigames very often. Still i liked the story and the bonus was a nice little prologue. Can totally recommend it

A pretty good story-oriented puzzle game in the Dark Parables series. Lovely artwork. Nice music. Expected playing time, including the bonus chapter, is 4.5 to 5 hours. Works fine on Linux with Steam Play / Proton.

If you've played the others and enjoyed yourself you might as well grab this one when it's 50% off. The release order of Dark Parables is: Curse of Briar Rose The Exiled Prince Rise of the Snow Queen The Red Riding Hood Sisters The Final Cinderella Jack and the Sky Kingdom Ballad of Rapunzel The Little Mermaid and the Purple Tide Queen of Sands Goldilocks and the Fallen Star Swan Princess and the Dire Tree The Thief and the Tinderbox Requiem for the Forgotten Shadow Return of the Salt Princess The Match Girl’s Lost Paradise Portrait of the Stained Princess

This is [I]Dark Parables[/I] #8, which enters a new phase in the series, switching the reigns to developer Eipix. Though it retains the series formula and tone, it features a newer, smoother, more animated game engine, a change of style, and a somewhat shorter game length. Also, the story is simpler than previous entries, which is actually refreshing considering that they had become quite convoluted. Despite the changes, if you've been a fan until this game then I am sure you would enjoy this one, too. And you know what to expect: a fairy tale cocktail with excellent drawings and a point-and-click adventure that is mostly about collecting various kinds of keys while solving puzzles. Also note that these are hidden-fragment games rather than classic hidden-object games.

This is game is so beautiful!!! I had tons of fun playing the hidden object puzzles, and the other puzzles are interesting and clever too. Story is great, and provide great twists on well known fairytales. All of the characters are interesting, and the protagonist is likable and sympathetic. The music is gorgeous!! And the sound effects are so good, I recommend playing this game with the sound turned on. I like the option for going back and replaying the hidden object puzzles and finding transforming objects (parables) and the concept art and wallpaper look phenomenal. Thank you for creating this game!

I like the Dark Parables series and The Little Mermaid and the Purple Tide was no exception. The story telling was original and the settings absolutely stunning. I found this game to be more interactive than previous games in the series. The bonus chapter felt far too short, perhaps because the story felt like a prologue to events I had just completed. Beautiful underwater scenery and magic.
