Just played the Mermaid's Tongue (now Mermaid Mask) demo again and thought "what if-" ?
So anyway- Only theories/speculations but still below the cut cuz demo spoilers but I tried to draw the sprite over the silhouette ( as well as two other characters' you can actually "see" in the demo and another one you can't- ) :)

also, I'm pretty sure the thing around the eye on the statue is just some random damage on whatever material it's made of, but i thought making it a scar would be fun so- yeah

[image ID: an individual icon from The Mermaid's Tongue screenshot. The person the icon represents appears to have gray-ish blue skin and teal, straight hair. They appear to be wearing a pink crop top and purple pants]
I remember seeing someone point out this icon in the Airlock screenshot on The Mermaid's Tongue Steam Page, and I think it's interesting that the icon was in the corner. Are they something who is assisting the investigation? Are they in the room and it's being indicated by the icon for some reason?
I could see this person potentially being an ally (maybe a comms person? We did see speakers in the demo after all), maybe not a hint system but maybe instead someone who you have to use to gain insight on certain clues and suspect whereabouts. Not sure which of the outlines we've seen so far that they would match, but I think they're neat.
I asked my followers if they would lend me their fish pokemons for my PARASCYLLA to turn into tails and this are some of them so far, I will make some more as there are still a lot of interesting ones, so expect a part 2

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.
Only speculations but I wanted to try to guess and draw what the characters from The Mermaid's Tongue could look like based on their silhouettes :) I'm probably very far off but twas fun to do anyway
More speculations : I think the first character might be Captain Seafoam based on the things on her shoulders which seem to be the same things Mortuga has on his half-coat
And the second character, i have absolutely no idea who they can be- i based their colors of the "Dream Helmet" clue shown on the website and steam page but i don't even think it belongs to them- i just thought it looked nice
(also someone (@/imp-thing) mentioned on youtube and discord that the thing sticking out the face of the first character could be a tongue, which i completely agree with since the head kinda look like a frog's but i did those like three days ago before i saw the video soo- hair strand/mic thingy it is)
Here are the new Rendition's of "The Detective Grimoire theme" and "Minigame Mysterious" extracted direcly from the Demo files, along side the new theme "Mystery of the Ocean" which you can hear on both the Title Screen and Trailer for the new Detective Grimoire game "The Mermaid's Tongue"
BIG WARNING IF YOU ARE PLANING ON EXPLORING THE DEMO FILES!

I MIGHT HAVE SPOILED MYSELF WHO THE KILLER IS BECAUSE OF IT AND I'M WRITING THIS IN CASE SOMEONE TRIES TO GO INTO THE FILES BECAUSE OF THIS POST.
