Synopsis.

A retelling of The Little Mermaid. Beyond The Waves is a queer, loose take on the Disney version of the story by Hans Christian Anderson.

Atlantica is on the edge of a war with the human kingdom, Tirulia.

As the youngest child of King Triton, you are sent above the waves to settle things between the two kingdoms, as a last resort.

You are welcomed with disgusted glances and few warm smiles.

And peace seems to be the last thing on the human king’s mind.

Romance Options.

Ursula: You heard whispers of her when you were younger—A powerful sea witch that many feared and still do fear, yet no one has seen her in almost a decade. Until you meet her: she is turbulent and calm, unyielding and diplomatic. She is a mystery.
Finn/Firth “Flounder”: Your childhood friend, who leaves with you to provide support and assistance. Nervous with good intentions and always there to press a caring and lingering hand to your shoulder.
Prince Eric/Princess Erica: The child of the human king. They are kind, unexpectedly so, when their father is so cruel. With a love for adventure and a charming smile, they always find a way to keep you entertained.
Sebastian: He is the one your father assigned to watch over you. He is strong-willed and wound tight, keeping his feelings close to his chest lest someone sees inside.

Very short BUT I LOVE MERFOLK!!!!!!

(+1)

I love it? I mean it the most shortest demo I have ever played so its hard to say lol

any updates on this?

(+20)

I'm seeing a lot of this unfortunately? Interesting IF's that are discontinued or dropped, not many are completed from what I've seen so I always have to check if the author/creator has recent activity.

Isn't it the most disappointing thing? So many good projects I've seen and alot of them get dumped without an update or a word from the author. I really want to read this but I'm not sure if I'm up for another disappointing discontinued story. I get life happens and people have struggles. COMPLETELY. but atleast write a post saying the project is closed.

Yeah, that's the worst part (besides the actual game being dropped) is the silence from the authors. I'm not asking for an in depth reason why the project's being discontinued, but at least tell people who are eagerly awaiting an update that it's never coming lol
