As a part of the Day of the Devs Digital Showcase, SFB Video games, the builders behind Snipperclips and the upcoming Crow Nation, has revealed that their 2019 detective hit Tangle Tower is getting a sequel known as The Mermaid’s Tongue. It’s set to launch on PC in 2024, however has a demo accessible at present.

The Mermaid’s Tongue is as soon as once more a homicide thriller that brings again the duo of Grimoire and Sally. It’ll as soon as once more be a mixture of point-and-click journey, visible novel, and puzzle recreation. This time, the sufferer is the “captain of the world’s strangest submarine.” I’m going to instantly quote the press launch on why it’s so unusual: “Some say the captain was an immortal time-traveler. Others say he was a vampire, cursed to remain hidden beneath the waves perpetually.” Yeah, me too.

What’s been proven off to date is what you’d count on from a Tangle Tower sequel. Splendidly animated characters and fabulous backgrounds. I may watch that animation all day.

I performed the demo, which does a terrific job of establishing the thriller and getting you hooked in earlier than it stops abruptly. When it ended, I audibly stated, “You dick!” I imply, I didn’t count on a demo to include the entire recreation. It was inevitably going to finish mid-mystery, but it surely appears like an episode of Columbo confirmed the homicide and lower out earlier than the investigation. That’s a me drawback. I most likely shouldn’t have performed the demo, I assume.

The Mermaid’s Tongue has a deliberate launch in 2024 on PC. The demo is accessible at present.
