Hey, does anyone have any tips on how to emulate this game on Android? I tried on joiplay but the game closes as soon as I try to open it
I tried joiplay version 1.20.027, and it worked. But, you can also try an emulator called Winlator. Just make sure to have over 2 gigabytes of space on your phone, and use the graphics driver VirGl or LLVMpipe.

enjoyed this so much <3 pretty merman aside, i love the dynamic between him and the mc so far, and i love the fact that mc actually had to be careful around him because it's clear he's dangerous. can't wait to see where the story goes! ><
I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE FULL VER this game is amazing!! <3 the art is absolutely beautiful! such a lovely game <3 <3
This demo is REALLY good. In my (only) run we both survived, yes, but the way he makes it clear that he doesn't see you as his caretaker, but as his prey, leaves a lot of room to see how their relationship (his and MC) develops and also a cliffhanger that makes you want more. I like that it's not your typical visual novel where it's love at first sight, and I'll be keeping an eye out for any updates. I don't know if the final product will be free or not, but I'll still consider contributing something just because I really liked this game! :)
Respectfully I think I would be so dead. either because I'd let him kill me or I'd hit him over the head with a fish for trying to kill me instead of putting my headphones back on.... Yeah, I'd die
The demo was incredible, I'm looking forward to the update!
I love this demo because I've seen too many games where it was love at first sight for the mc. I also like the art and the cute coworkers, and of course the dangerous mermaids with the funny ocean analogy<3
Looking forward to the full version! My English is very poor, so I hope I didn't cause any displeasure!
Thanks ! <3
I felt like it would be better both the player and the love interest to grow more interested in each other gradually, with all the differences (both physical and cultural) that come between them.
Also, I'm glad you liked the coworkers as well ! I wanted a good support system for the player in comparison to the deadly merman.
And don't worry about you're English, I understood perfectly ! <3
It's nice to be responded to by the author herself, and I just realised I seem to have forgotten to write out my advice.
When I was playing I spent a lot of time spotting the save buttons in the top left hand corner, I'm not sure if this is my problem or not, I'd like them to be put in a more prominent place if possible.
Thanks again:D
Q.Q I don't wanna die even to a pretty merman
I think that's fair
This was so cool!!! The story got me super hooked (no pun intended) and the art is really pretty!!
The merman is beautiful, I'm so ready to know more about him. Also, seeing that this will be a slow burn romance got me even more interested.
Great job on the demo!! <3
Thanks for all those compliments ! <3 You'll get to know plenty about him in the future updates !
Ah i got so sad when the demo ended! I was there was more to enjoy the game!
I'm glad you enjoyed it ! I'm working on the future update and I hope it'll live up to your expectations !
I was completely mesmerized by him, and I was especially impressed by his beautiful eyes. Those eyes were as tantalizing as the lights of a deep-sea fish attracting its prey.😭 can I try to translate this game into Chinese and share the Chineseization patch for this demo? People can add the patch into the original game to get the Chinese translation. My English is not very good, but I really want to share this game, he's so cute.... thanks for making such a great game
I'm so glad you feel this way !! Thank you for your feedback !
I'm all for translations, however I simply have no idea how it's done. ;-; But if you know how, then you have my blessings ! <3
And don't worry, your English is great !
aww so goood when is more comingg
I can't say when, but the next update is in development ! I just don't want to give people false hope with a deadline I may not be able to follow.
hope ther will be an android version
As of now, it's not in my plans, since I have no idea how it's done. Right now, I'd rather just focus on finishing the game for PC/Mac. I'll consider it, but I can't promise anything, unfortunately.
love this, can't wait for more but don't stress yourself
Thanks, the development is going well !
Wah ! Thank you so much for playing and sharing it !! <3
oh!This game is really great to play! Looking forward to future updates! There will be a good ending, right?
I hope so ! 👀
I need to know more about fishman.....
Hehe, may I introduce you to my Tumblr which will provide extra infos about Mr. Fishman and game in general ?
this is so good !! love the art and the merman is so cute! cant wait for more <33
Thanks for showing your support ! I'm currently working on the next update !
ahh thats great !! thank u for ur work <33
OOOOO this looks so cool!
Thanks ! I hope you like it !
I have been CRAVING something like this. Thank you so so much for making it.
You're welcome ! I had fun with the idea, I'm glad you like it !
Hi, when trying running the game it says Checksum error in, The file is corrupt, The archive is corrupt and Cannot execute, is there a way to fix this?
Hi, sorry for the late reply !
I was searching a bit into it to make sure it doesn't come from my end while uploading. I haven't received any other complaint about it as of now.
From what I've seen online, it may come from an error when downloading the game or depending on the software you use to unzip the files. Apparently, this error can occur while using WinRar.
The only thing I can suggest right now is try downloading again or use 7zip if you're not already using it instead of WinRar.
I hope that'll help !
I have tried both WinRar and 7-zip and could not unzip successfully. Redoing the download had the same result.
I have just re uploaded new files just to make sure, I had my friend tested it and it works. I'd say try again, but if it doesn't work, I'm afraid I won't have a solution. ;_;
Thanks a lot! it really helped
I'm glad I could help !! Hope you'll like the game !
Thank you for the quick response. The problem has been resolved.
i want to download.... but there is no button to download...... :(
Hi ! Sorry for the inconvenience, I was made aware of a bug so I had to repost the files, but you should be able to download it now !
THANKS!
The game is really interesting and well-written! Can't wait to see more))
Thanks for your comment ! I'm glad you liked it !
What a cutie!! 😳 I'm excited for where the story is going! Looking forward to wooing the cute merman
Thank you !! I'm glad the fishman got your interest ! Wooing him will be a long process but hopefully, it'll be worth it...
