About The Daring Mermaid Expedition

Take a scientifically inaccurate romp in pirate-infested waters! Will you prove to the Royal German Marinological Society that mermaids really exist?

"The Daring Mermaid Expedition" is a 71,000-word interactive novel by Andrea Phillips, author of "The Daring Adventures of Lucy Smokeheart." Your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based--without graphics or sound effects--and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

You are an up-and-coming researcher, tasked with proving the existence of mermaids in order to be admitted to the exclusive Royal German Marinological Society. With a member of the Society as your patron, you’ll brave pirate attacks and dubious academics to fight your way to Broken Shell Island and scientize the mythical mermaid kingdom. Play as a vengeful mermaid-hater, dispassionate scientist, or soft-hearted daydreamer. Or just chuck it all and embrace piracy on the crew of the infamous Lucy Smokeheart herself!

Will you join the illustrious ranks of the Society, or wind up in prison for scientific fraud? Spend the rest of your life living underwater, or be devoured by carnivorous fish-people?

You’re on a mermaid expedition—it’s time to sink or swim.

• Ten distinct endings to discover!
• Develop statistics like academic rigor, credibility, and blood loss!
• 100% gender-neutral. Play whatever gender and sexuality you choose! We're not the boss of you!
• Dozens of achievements! Or maybe one dozen. Or more? Actually we're not sure how many, we lost count! But there are definitely achievements!
• Guaranteed to be at least 92% scientifically and historically inaccurate!
• Navigate tricky interpersonal situations with wit, charm, or awkwardness!
• Seduce your patron – or become bitter academic rivals!

Why is it that if one is female then one always ends up being a lesbian in these stories? It's just laziness... Of course I have no problem with being a lesbian per session, but I being Bi myself... But it would be good to have it off with a man in one of these stories. Nice story about academia and mermaids.

I hate that you have to pay for the last part... If you're going to make us pay, at least make it later in the game...

It was very interesting and enjoyable.

N70%
by N####:

The story is a blast, plain and simple. The writing is both involving and amusing; occasionally the writer breaks the "fourth wall" to say something either silly or extremely significant, and it's awesome. The experience overall is a bit short compared to others, but story-wise it is a perfect length. It doesn't bog down with filler, and it gives you more than enough difficult choices. I wholeheartedly recommend it to any fans of interactive fiction, even if you don't like mermaids. Yeah, it's that good.

M70%
by M####:

Advertised as 71k words (the length of Colour of Magic) but definitely much shorter. Not a lot of variation between scenarios so low replayability

G70%
by G####:

I played it and cannot remember much beyond an island and a mermaid. Play the free version. It passed the time.

N70%
by N####:

The story is not too long, two hours of playing, exactly what I wanted. The writing quality is very high, and the choices do influence the outcome. I liked the achievements, too - give an extra sense of meaning. Good job!

U70%
by U####:

The adventure is cut short and there's no much reply value in this story.

P70%

The writing was solid. Stats not particularly important. Would be better as the beginning of a series.

Awesome

C70%
by C####:

A delightful romp full of puffed up acidemicals and fantastical beasts. A current of menace runs through even the happiest of choices, which can be vaguely unsettling. I can't wait to play through all the endings!

C70%
by C####:

Its short but trust me when i say this you will play through multiple playthroughs to get a certain result and i mean multiple. i still haven't got the result i wanted and dont even know if its possible to get now. but to sum it up for the price right now its a good game not on the choice of robot or the hero series level but a good game

U70%

I used to read choose your own adventure books as a kid and this brought back a lot of fond memories. Well written and fun! I hope new ones get released soon!

D70%
by D####:

Good story and made me laugh alot. Wished there was more time with the actual mer-people, but overall it was still good. But still, it could use a sequel exploring that more... :)

Feels way to short and rushed

C70%
by C####:

Overall it seems pretty promising and I'm also wondering what it may possibly have romance wise, I do kinda miss when you guys actually put the full free stuff as free and the pay games priced, it's a little annoying and somewhat disappointing to start it up and play through only to reach a sudden halt. I as a fan of your groups works, I check in pretty frequently to see if you guys have anything new, the first encounter was rather enjoyable, so I was somewhat sad to see the adventure unexpectedly halted

F70%

I loved this! It was light-hearted and I was able to finish it relatively fast! This was funny and kept me wondering.

Having completed one playthrough of this excellent interactive story, I have no doubt I'll play it again. Still, the one play gave me a satisfying story in which my decisions had weight and meaning.
