Beautiful presentation and beautiful prose. It is rare to read anything written in second person, especially second person handled so well. I wish this level of style was used elsewhere though...
The repetition of “you sowed your own fate” really means nothing at all when there aren’t any choices I can make as the player to alter fate, aside from picking a route. All the routes including the true end, ultimately, are the same (meet one lonely lesbian who traps you somewhere and kills you), so I can’t help but feel that this message is at odds with the rest of the storytelling. Oh well! Can’t really go wrong with a cute mermaid girl.
