There are plenty of superficial similarities between The Mermaid's Curse and the original Paranormasight, a 2023 visual novel that's quietly built up a reputation as one of the best mystery games of the last few years. There's the artistic style, the spooky tone, the use of an ensemble cast who have nothing and everything to do with one another.
I was happy to see all these things that helped Paranormasight find an adoring yet undeservedly small audience present in this unexpected sequel, because I'm very ready to spend more hours picking through the shattered fragments of meticulously researched horror adventure that blurs the line between fiction and reality. But what I really love about this second game is that everyone, regardless of whether they picked the original apart or are hearing about it for the first time this week, immediately gets stuck in the same bloodstained boat.
