Sea of Despair (Mermance) is a story-driven, point and click adventure game in which you can switch between two characters, to experience both sides to the same story, reminiscent of Broken Age.

However story-wise it is intended to go from trusting each other to doubt as their stories unravel and lies are revealed alongside cultures clashing, with a tone of Romeo and Juliet, except without closeness by the end.

The two main characters will consist of a mermaid and a fisherman, with their first encounter involving the fisherman cutting the mermaid out of a fishing net (spoilers: it's his, oh snap). The primary purpose is to show deception and irony through the eyes of two protagonists and in turn have them evolve into antagonists by the end of the story.

Mechanics:

• Point and click adventure game, with the ability to switch sides of the story throughout
• Unique puzzles
• Story line changes dynamically depending on which character you play as longer, changing dialogue

Features:

• Immersive story
• Problem solving
• Cold colour palette, centered around an ocean theme (potentially fading into a warmer palette as the game progresses, conveying the negative feelings built throughout)

Intended for PC (Steam), Tablet devices (iOS/Android)
