The story of "Mermaid Mission: Titanic" is a whimsical visual novel that reimagines the tale of Ariel as she embarks on a mission to sink the Titanic, perceived as a threat to mermaids. While the narrative is engaging and features a mix of dialogue and fun puzzles, some players found it short and primarily aimed at achieving completion. Overall, the game is praised for its cute, kid-friendly storytelling and entertaining premise, though it may not appeal to a broader audience due to its unique design and simplicity.
- “The story line is surprisingly addicting; I have played 60 minutes without realizing it!”
- “This lovely, story-driven adventure game features a new perspective on mermaids.”
- “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.”
- “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.”
