I will remember my experiece with this game forever, I think. And yes, I recommend this game. I think I would recommend it 1000x over if I can. To set the scene, I had played the original Detective Grimoire for only an hour into the game before I gave up on it. Something about that game felt extremely boring. I wasn't interested in the story, or the characters, which is what these games thrive on since there isn't much gameplay outside of that. Listening to the characters talk was more of a chore. I ended up following the developers over on Instagram and seeing that they made Crow Country and Haunt the House, both games I absolutely love. After seeing some advertisement about their upcoming game, The Mermaid Mask, and seeing that Steam was having a sale, I decided to get this game, banking on the chance that I would like it better. Like is not the word I would use here. I didn't close the game once during my playthrough. I didn't even think about it. The game just held my focus, and not in in the predatory way that a lot of modern games do. My focus was purely out of interest and curiosity. There was just something so perfect that held my attention all the way to the end. I was itching to explore. To talk to everyone. To click on everything. And, I did. I loved this game. It has shot up into my top 10, which is very hard to do for me. I'm just so picky. The game being weird, I think, is what did it for me. The weird art style and voice actors. The weird house in the middle of a weird lake, packed with two weird families. The characters feeling like they're real instead of just a way to discover clues or hints. I think I would do anything for Fifi, but I think I had a strong attachment to most characters by the end. The result of many unfortunate situations, some of which I can relate to all too well. I will absolutely be checking out The Mermaid Mask when I can and whatever other games these developers put out. It's clear there's a lot of passion behind these games and that's what gives the gaming industry life.

The mystery was pretty alright, small annoyance was that even if you had a working hypothesis, you needed to trigger certain dialogue/clue options to pursue the lead. The hint system helped to minimize a lot of the brute forcing. The ending had quite a dramatic flair to it, but thinking deeper you reveal there are quite a number of plot holes that make the truth seem odd. Still a good short bite though.

整體來說比較傾向不推薦。 音樂、美術＆動畫、角色設計、遊戲界面都做的很好，甚至每個角色都還有活靈活現的配音……但有一個很嚴重的扣分是劇情最後草草收尾。 在線索拿齊了之後開始抽絲剝繭、一層層解開眾人隱瞞的事情，原本以為在這之後會開始徹查兇手是誰以及找出作案動機，卻在這時候事情急轉直下，不到半小時就公開了兇手是誰（甚至原因有點微不足道）。 前面還放了一個族譜跟眾人的行動時間可以提供推理出不在場證明之類的設計，到後面卻幾乎沒有派上用場。 就像一道裝飾精美擺盤像藝術品的菜餚外表吸睛，但身為一道菜最重要的味道卻讓人感到失望一般，玩完之後對劇情的落差太大感到失望，在通關之後解鎖的美術設定集看得出遊戲設計很用心這件事反而更加深了這股失落感。 看到之後有出續作還是不自覺的會期待一下，但又很怕續作的劇情一樣會端出「只寫了謎題而謎底草草呈現」的推理作品。 扣掉推理作品需要的劇情成份，我覺得以SFB Games製作遊戲的能力已經足以做出奇幻劇情向的遊戲了，其實也沒有必要執著在做出推理遊戲(??) 本作推薦打折購入＆適合給喜歡玩解謎遊戲的人 （會對推理認真的人先緩緩）

Fun and interesting adventure game! Well worth the time.
