    39 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story of "Mermaid Mission: Titanic" presents a unique and engaging narrative where players assume the role of a mermaid on a quest to uncover treasures and secrets related to the Titanic, reimagined as a threat to mermaids. While some reviews highlight its charm and humor, others criticize it for being more of a visual novel than a traditional game, with a focus on reading and simple puzzles. Overall, the storyline is described as entertaining and suitable for a younger audience, though it may not appeal to everyone due to its unconventional premise and execution.

    • “The story is an alternate universe of 'Ariel the Little Mermaid' who is on a mission to destroy the Titanic, which is seen as a warship threat to the mermaids.”
    • “This lovely, story-driven adventure game features a new perspective on mermaids.”
    • “The story line is surprisingly addicting; I have played 60 minutes without realizing it!”
    • “mermaid mission: titanic is not a game, it's an e-book that's been dumped on steam masquerading as a game.”
    • “For a story based on the premise 'what if the titanic was actually sunk by mermaids?' I expected this visual novel to be weirder, but it's oddly low-key.”
    • “I wouldn't recommend it to a general audience -- the premise and design are unusual, and that's interesting, but the 'developer art' and meandering story make it a hard sell when the end result isn't particularly memorable.”

    • “Really great artwork on the characters; the titanic rooms were especially beautifully done.”
    • “Colorful graphics that fit a (sometimes) underwater setting.”
    • “Some of the game artwork was inconsistent and less polished (the grocery box sorting game letters, hotel bedroom).”
    • “This game is very good despite having objectively 'not great' visuals.”

    • “Mix up more puzzles or have some more choices of gameplay throughout since it felt heavy on story reading after a while.”
    • “As a visual/interactive novel, this doesn't feature any notable gameplay; it's just a lot of clicking through badly written dialogue that would never have been accepted or published in print, which poses the question, 'how did something this badly written end up on Steam?'”
    • “Mix up more puzzles or have some more choices of gameplay throughout, since it felt heavy on story reading after a while.”
    • “I had an error message pop up multiple times, but I was just able to close the message without it affecting the gameplay.”
