Mermaid's Curse strengths and setting

Travel outside of any major metropolitan area. Escape the light pollution. Hike out to the middle of the woods. Climb the highest peak you can. On exceptionally clear nights, surrounded by your friends, look into the sky and you just might see him peering back.

Discussed: Our hero with a pizza, an impromptu Square Enix discussion, the strength of Team Asano, the future of Final Fantasy, Paranormasight: The Mermaid’s Curse, final puzzles and true endings, the future of Paranormasight, the importance of niche appeal and modest success, Teddie, Slay the Spire II, the March "forever" games, Pokopia update, Minishoot’ Adventures

"Dissolving the past in the present in Paranormasight: The Mermaid's Curse"

A great interview with the director and producer of Paranormasight, Takanari Ishiyama and Kazuma Oushu, about the making of The Mermaid's Curse
