The Mermaid's Tongue
Release Date: July 16, 2026
The sequel to Tangle Tower and the third installment in a series of point-and-click adventure games originating from 2014. The Mermaid's Tongue stars Detective Grimoire and Sally, investigating the death of the captain of the world's strangest submarine.
The Mermaid's Tongue is the third installment in a series of point-and-click adventure games, a sequel to 2014's Detective Grimoire and 2019's Tangle Tower. Like the previous installments, it was developed by SFB Games.
The returning protagonists of The Mermaid's Tongue are Detective Grimoire and Sally. The game is set on the world's strangest submarine, the captain of which, Magnus Mortuga, died under unexplained circumstances. Various rumors circulated about the captain; some thought him a vampire, others thought him cursed, others yet an immortal time traveler. Yet another mystery is the fact his corpse's been found next to an unsealed, ancient stone cauldron...
Detective Grimoire and Sally must find out what exactly happened within the locked captain's cabin.
The gameplay of The Mermaid's Tongue revolves around investigating. The player must traverse the submarine, talk to various characters (many of whom act suspiciously), gather clues, evidence and useful items. There are also many different puzzles to solve.
The Mermaid's Tongue features colorful, cartoonish visuals and a slightly caricatural artstyle. The dialogue is fully voiced, while the atmospheric music was performed by the Budapest Art Orchestra.

Game Ratings for The Mermaid Mask Video Game.
Digital Chumps: 9 / 10 by Nathaniel Stevens
The Mermaid Mask from developer SFB Games is a point-and-click marvel that brings with it a good story, modern gameplay design, and a respectful tip-of-the-hat to an old genre.
The Punished Backlog: 9 / 10 by Amanda Tien
There are a few times in The Mermaid Mask where characters, such as a tormented author, will make comments about how hard it is to make a sequel or that "this is a lot of work; I don't know if I'll do it again." And I can't disagree; it seems incredibly difficult. I've been editing my own novel for a few years now and it is... quite painful. But what keeps me going is the idea that some day, my mom might get to read my book and really love it, and maybe other people will, too. So, I say to SFB Games and brothers Vian, if you have finished your journey with these games, I would understand, but I'd be sad — The Mermaid Mask is an excellent game, and I can only imagine how brilliant the next one would be.
NoobFeed: 90 / 100 by Maisie Scott
The Mermaid Mask is a talkative, gorgeous, occasionally too generous mystery that leans on its cast more than on puzzles. The title stands as one of the better detective games out this year.
