Oh hey look! It's baby's first business card, so now when I try to do some kind of grown up "hello i am business man come from business my business is business" talk, I'll have one of THESE bad boys to whip out, oho~! Cheers to @paigumondus and @artbytesslyn for the art once again!

Also I have merch now? Kinda? Presenting: DETECTIVE GRIMOIRE STICKERS! Thanks to @whisperingrockers who realised what I was going for and put together this sweet design! Love Grimoire's shit-eating grin. Magnificent.

Honestly, I hadn't planned the logistics of HOW I'd distribute these (regular mail? in a letter? to you? for money?), but for now: if we ever meet in person, you can never be sure if/when I'd paste these on your face and run away giggling like a madman.

Details from The Mermaid's Tongue (Demo)

Spoilers for the entirety of the demo/the Mermaid's Tongue Prologue and Tangle Tower + theorizing on future plot points for the final game.

So, right off the bat:

Stonetop Inn: as in Selena Stonetop, mother of Felicia Fellow and grandmother of Freya Fellow, as indicated by the Tangle Tower family tree. The boat being named The Dearest Selena cinches it.

The dragon-looking thing on the board is the Silversnake noted in the Children's Book (and Secret Research) in Tangle Tower. It is also present at the bottom of the family tree image.

The crab design on the table could be the Soulcrab... Or just a regular crab, lol

Felicia... Stonetop? Not Fellow? Perhaps she took her father’s last name after some incident? Or perhaps her heritage as a Stonetop was ignored by the family in favor of her status as a Fellow? Or perhaps it’s a retcon? Who can say...

Kristen Kale publishing… wonder if that’ll be relevant down the line.

This book also gives us some potential foreshadowing and a route for misdirection... but it being entered into evidence suggests that at least the author or publisher will be of some relevance.

I didn't take screenshots of it, but there's also an alliterative name outside the theatre on land, a W name. It's not any of the extended Fellow-Remington-Pointer family, but alliterative names have a tendency to come back... so maybe they'll be relevant to the full game, or perhaps a future one?

Tangle Tower took some beats from The Goldbug by Poe, so is this perhaps a Great Gatsby-esque green light? More literary connections? Post-war cynicism and the death of the American dream? Opulence as a disguise for deeper issues? Could be fun.

The likelihood of this being a cheeky All The Wrong Questions reference is a Big Zero, but "Silkwirm-on-Sea" is giving me "Stain’d-by-the-Sea" vibes by both the name and it being utterly dead.

I’m going to assume this is a statue depicting one of the Ambassadors (my guess would be Lord Fellow) attempting to capture the Silversnake - or the Silkwirm Serpent, as it’s called here.

I'm convinced these creatures are one and the same despite the name difference. Boggy's real name is The Amphobi, after all. It could happen again.

Also look at the hanging sign in the top right. Hold that image in your mind for a second.

Hm. Now doesn't that furnace and that glass of wine feel a little familiar... not to mention the shade of red...

...who wants to bet an Ambassador had a hand in making this submarine?

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that’s the Seafoam crest hanging over the Stonetop crest. (That is the Stonetop crest at the bottom, by the way. If you click on the hanging sign over the inn before you get onto the submarine, it reveals this information.) Perhaps the complex web of interpersonal relationships didn’t end with the Pointer-Fellow-Remington family.

And so the guessing game begins… Is The Captain’s Corpse Slumped Over The Panel In That Room

Oh, hey! I recognize that lamp. Has Felix Fellow been down here on one of his many supposed adventures?

The Silversnake returns as a metal structure inside the ship! This is starting to remind me of the constant egg motifs around Tangle Tower... and strengthening my theory that one of the Ambassadors made this ship. This is quite a prominent bit of Mystid decor, and Sally even suggests that it might be load-bearing.

The bottle of tablets having a sun on them leads me to think they’re Vitamin D tablets or the like. Not getting enough sun can really mess the body up, and being deep underwater would leave someone with no access to it. Therefore, these are likely vitamin supplements. The other side of the label having an onion, however… no clue. A mystery for the full game!

Likewise, the moon vial could be a sleeping drought. It’s hard to keep up with your sleep cycle if it’s always dark, after all.

POSTER PLAGIARISM!! Though, it's not like you're going to get called out for it twenty leagues under the sea... My guess is whoever refurbished this room into a theatre really likes the shows topside. But a witch girl seeing the ferryman while in the cauldron herself carries a different tone than a mysterious doppelgänger.

Both the “The Stargazing Girl” text and the footprints have bled through slightly to the other side of the cloth, so they must have been applied similarly (to some degree) - but the circle seems like it was always there. This is definitely part of a larger puzzle, so there's not much to say now.

Claw marks inside the cauldron… like the claw marks in the Tangle Tower aquarium, perhaps? And the gear marking on top… perhaps that’s how it was unlocked?

I also must say - I disagree with Grimoire's belief that the cauldron entity did the murder. The scratches inside the cauldron, with a single exception, are in groups of three. Magnus was specifically killed with a single slash across the throat. The creature in question would have left at least two slashes.

And so, the final analysis of this post. Grimoire suggests a supernatural entity responsible for the murder. Magnus' feet were right up by the cauldron. He fell onto his back. He left a puddle of blood on the ground. There's even a suspiciously placed hole in the wall! This is so, so similar to Freya's death. And, were it done like hers, I'd say that a long blade, like a spear, was thrust through the hole and slashed Magnus in the throat, at which point he fell backwards.

Except, I don't think that's what happened. Look at the bloodstain. Look at how it's pooling towards the cauldron. I don't think the submarine was horizontal when this murder happened. I think there was an initial impact, the main circular stain, and then the ship moved 90 degrees, resulting in the "second circle" of the stain dripping the way it does.

But, this is just theorizing from the little bits we have so far. What's done here so far is phenomenal and I can't wait to see how it goes. Will we meet the mysterious bug-post-sender? Will Penelope return? Will there be two murders on this submarine?? We'll see in 2024!!

The announcement of The Mermaid's Tongue (sequel to the amazing point and click mystery game, Tangle Tower) has me so hyped even though it's not coming out until likely mid-to-late 2024. It may be the one thing that gets me out of Alan Wake 2 brainrot and into a new brainrot

I played the demo two days ago and while I won't give many spoilers all I'm gonna say is Sally's a nerd and I cannot wait to find out exactly why she insisted on bringing her fantasy novel with her on a murder case

#tangle tower #the mermaid's tongue #detective grimoire #i want to talk about this game so bad for it just being a demo rn lol #i want to study sally like a bug #honestly i want to study both of them like bugs we barely know anything about our two detectives lol

Just warning everybody, The Mermaid's Tongue Mask demo contains an ABSOLUTE TON of unused assets from the full game, including 3D models and textures of the clues, the names and character sprites of the suspects, roughly a dozen music tracks from the OST, etc. Just about the only thing you won't find are voice lines for the suspects.

I was extracting the assets just to get Sally and Grimoire's dialogue, but found a lot more than I was expecting.

THERE ARE POTENTIALLY HUGE SPOILERS IN THE DEMO'S FILES. EXTRACT ASSETS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Okay so I have a couple opinions on this. First of, the general eerie vibe of this scene and synopsis is giving me H.P Lovecraft's The Shadow of Innsmouth where a man visits a town plagued with fish people. Combined with the impossible to ignore green light similar to the one in The Great Gatsby. Maybe this would have references to both of them since this seems old timey.

Second while I am excited for this. My excitement is extremely watered down because I was never hoping for another one to come and if another one were to come out I expected it to it's own style compared to the other 3 games especially after 4 years so this completely breaks the pattern. Sally doesn't even look like she fits in this scene compared to her sprites in Tangled Tower. I still have lots of hope for this and my enthusiasm will rise once I see the full game.
