Help! I'm Turning Into A Mermaid! tells a serious and topical story about real issues such as the cost of living crisis, fascism, political corruption, sexy catgirls and the ever growing threat of war.
It also has silly tentacle artwork.

I animated a bunch of motion comics for Help! I'm Turning Into A Mermaid! It's not something I've done before but I think they turned out pretty well! youtu.be/LONJLHazigo?...

So i found this game completely by accident. This game was amazing, the characters are amazing, the story was phenomenal and got me really invested in the world of Axon city. If your a fan of gender bend shenanigans and yuri you'll probably like this visual novel. Highly recommended!

12.01.2026 23:06 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Finished the game, and ngl, this is probably the best game I've played in a while.
There's some minor graphical bugs here and there, but girl, Hunter might just be one of my new all time faves. I won't spoil it, but the twists and turns the game makes are so exciting.
Definitely need to play more.
I was on CNN! For 10 seconds! And it was a new pc releases segment. But it still counts! edition.cnn.com/2026/01/09/e...
