Crow Country Developer SFB Games Readies Detective Sequel The Mermaid Mask for Summer
AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
SFB Games, the studio behind Crow Country, has announced that their new detective mystery game, The Mermaid Mask, is launching this summer with a playable demo available now on Steam.
Following the breakout success of their retro survival horror hit Crow Country, developer SFB Games is returning to their mystery roots with The Mermaid Mask. Slated for release this summer across PC and consoles, the upcoming title serves as the next installment in the Detective Grimoire series, following up on the widely praised Tangle Tower. Players looking to jump into the investigation early can already test out a playable demo available now on Steam. SFB Games creative director Adam Vian noted in a recent press release that the team has poured an unprecedented amount of care into the project, describing it as something quite remarkable.
The narrative kicks off with the sudden murder of a legendary submarine captain, tasking players with untangling the web of suspects and clues. The voice cast brings serious industry talent to the table, including Edwyn Tiong and Amber Lee Connors, with additional voice actors set to be revealed prior to launch. For players who missed out on previous entries, the development team has confirmed that this is a completely self-contained story, meaning no prior experience with Tangle Tower is necessary to jump right into the case.
SFB Games previously turned heads with Crow Country, a game that utilized low poly PS1 era aesthetics while delivering sharp writing and clever puzzle design that resonated heavily with modern horror fans. While the unexpected success of that survival horror project extended their development timeline, the studio is finally ready to deliver their most ambitious narrative adventure yet. Original reporting and further details on the release can be found in the full piece on Eurogamer.
