I really love the lached up games series. I was very excited when I heard about the title because it seemed a fun idea! The game is very well written like most all of the works, but the simple fact is... It isn't about turning into a mermaid at all! From some of the orphaned text that still exists in the plot, it was likely supposed to be a main part …

Great game, one of Lached Up Games most polished yet. Heaps of content and fantastic Humor. If you've played their games before, you cannot go wrong with this entry. I've played all the way through, and with all the different paths, playstyles and items to collect, I can't wait to play a New Game+! <3
Love everything about this game, except the darn puzzles. They can be fun, but also can be down right discouraging to even continue the game. If you are not a puzzles person, I would recommend caution, as this game contains a few puzzles that even the Australian Medical Examiners later decided to drop from their exams because it was too hard, and that' jus…
Game Details
From the developer
After surviving a near death encounter on their first day of work, Hunter has noticed something shocking. They're slowly turning into a mermaid! The latest adventure game/life simulation hybrid from the creators of the Max's Big Bust series.
About This Game
Hunter is having a very rough week. They've just started a new career as a police officer at the Axon City Police Department, except they've been trained as a conflict de-escalation officer and aren't allowed to carry any weaponry. This has not gone down well with their partner Ember, a fire elemental who usually solves problems by chucking a fireball at it and cleaning up the mess afterwards.
If workplace drama wasn't enough, the city has become embroiled in a massive conspiracy involving corrupt government officials, a cult of mysterious witches and an army of militarised pirates who want nothing more than to reduce the city to a a smoking pile of ash. Oh, and Hunter also appears to be slowly transforming into a mermaid! Will Hunter be able to work out what's going on with their transformation before it's too late and they wind up stuck as a woman forever? I mean probably not, if you've played any of my other games you already know the answer to this question, but maybe they'll find a way back to their old self! There's a first time for everything, you never know!

| 3 | Clearly adult — recurring sexual content or nudity as a meaningful part of the experience, but not the sole focus of the game. |
| 4 | Strongly explicit — graphic sexual themes, extended explicit stills or text, or gameplay built heavily around adult situations. |
| 5 | Explicit and often animated — graphic sexual content that is frequently animated or interactive; core to what you see and do in the game. |
