If you are looking for an addictive whodunit that will keep you glued to your screen well into the early hours of the morning, The Mermaid Mask might just be your next obsession. Developed by SFB Games—the creative minds behind the beloved point-and-click adventure Tangle Tower—this latest title delivers a masterclass in interactive mystery.
The premise plunges players straight into the deep end: a submarine captain is discovered dead inside a securely locked room. Beside his lifeless body sits an enigmatic cauldron, with a trail of blood pooling across the floor.
From there, players must interrogate a wonderfully eccentric cast of characters trapped aboard the vessel. The roster of suspects includes a notoriously irritable author struggling to write the follow-up to his bestselling novel, an actor cast as the lead in the film adaptation of that very book, and a young master of illusions who stages elaborate performances.
With its compelling locked-room setup and a brilliantly bizarre lineup of suspects, The Mermaid Mask offers a perfectly paced, deeply engaging vacation mystery that hits all the right notes for fans of the puzzle-solving genre.
