The Mermaid of Zennor

Short & Nice. Nothing bad happens at all.

Aside from the obvious brother-obsession, this was a painfully realistic and relatable novel. I had to take breaks when reading this otherwise quite short Visual Novel. The thought process of Lilac's is so similar to my own at her age, it was disorienting. This is a depressing and lonely story, with perfect musical accompaniment. I'll mention this since many reviews have talked about the art quality. I find the model of the brother Jesse is scaled distractingly. His head is disproportionately smaller compared to the other character sprites, I'd say to emphasise his tallness or due to his sprite's height. But it makes him look a little odd when standing next to characters. If it was to give him a 'distanced' appearance, for me it totally didn't work and threw me off. I'm a fan of Ebi-Hime's so I was surely looking forward to the dark tale, and found it quite similar in tone to 'Lynne' and 'My Sweetest Monster', so if you are a fan of those works you likely enjoy this. Structurally its remarkably similar to Lynne, though the stories are unique and i found it particularly interesting to unravel the story from our protagonists' perspective here.

One of Ebi's strongest and most touching stories. It was written in a perfect way to capture the Maincharacter's perspective with all the nouances mentioned in the Steam-describtion. The narrative changes in the most welcome way and Ebi did not shy away from voicing the dark thoughts likely many teenagers had with regards to bullies and the things they deserve. Perfect length, artstyle is not too anime, absolutely great ending. The somewhat morbit story turned into something touching and unique without ever being cheesy or unnatural.

очень эмоциональная новелла . рекомендую

loved this one!!! the protagonist is very realistic and despite how dark she seems in the beginning she becomes a very sympathetic and lovely character the more you spend time with her. ebi's works never disappoint. brilliant <3

[h1]The Mermaid of Zennor[/h1] Коротка вражаюча новела. Пережити тяжку історію тридцятилітньої дівчинки, булінгу та сімейних проблем - це вау. Музичний супровід вогонь, додає погруження до феноменальної атмосфери. Один eмбієнт нагадав тему з "Detroit: Become Human", дуже круто. Раджу до ознайомлення!
