Mermaid

Mermaid is a third-person undersea role-playing adventure set in a future where melting glaciers have submerged the last land mass and reduced the human population. To help civilization survive, humanity begins the Merman Project. Physicists develop concentrated oxygen, which lets people move freely underwater for a long time if they inhale it regularly, but prevents them from surfacing to breathe natural air. Biologists work to engineer humans who can breathe in the deep ocean. As an executor of the project, you follow a series of stories as the protagonist takes part in it.

Explore underwater

Guided by missions, you dive, search for items, rescue hostages, drive submarines and pursue enemies. The game uses a 3D third-person view with a free camera, and movement takes place underwater rather than on land. Oxygen is consumed even when you are still, so you need to manage your supply and find ways to replenish it.

You can also explore freely, taking in coral colonies, schools of fish, sharks, underwater relics and other sights. Bubbles in the deep sea have different effects: some supply oxygen or provide acceleration, while others lead into danger or take you to another scene.

Travel and combat

To move between scenes, you pass through underwater channels. You need to use the bubbles effectively to travel through them quickly and safely. The game also includes a Boss battle in which you drive a submarine to fight the Boss.
