About The Game

In the pitch-black waters beyond a long-abandoned fishing town, the enigmatic Captain Magnus Mortuga (rumoured to be everything from an immortal time-traveller to a cursed vampire) has been found dead within his submarine.

His body lies alone inside a locked room, marked by a single fatal wound, yet no weapon can be found. At the centre of the chamber sits an ancient, barnacle-covered cauldron with a heavy metal lid; recently opened, its interior eerily empty except for deep, unexplained scratches.

Summoned by the mysterious Captain Seafoam, players step into the shoes of Detective Grimoire and his sharp-tongued partner Sally to unravel the truth. Armed with little more than a cryptic letter and two photographs, they are drawn aboard the world’s strangest submarine and into a mystery that defies logic.

The Mermaid Mask builds on the acclaimed formula of Tangle Tower, blending clever puzzle-solving with sharp writing and a richly stylised world. Players will:

  • Investigate an impossible locked-room murder

  • Explore a sprawling, hand-crafted submarine filled with secrets

  • Interrogate a cast of eccentric, fully voice-acted suspects

  • Find and piece together clues to uncover motive, means, and opportunity

  • Experience satisfying “aha!” moments through layered puzzle design

Balancing dark themes with light-hearted British humour, the game delivers a cozy-creepy experience that has become a signature of SFB Games.
