PureJewel

In the enchanted underwater City of Glass, what will you sacrifice for immortality? Love, memories, freedom? Will you take freedom from others to win your heart's desire? Dive into a world of mermaids, mermen, and other merfolk, where every character has secrets, and nothing is what it seems!
The whales have granted the merfolk eternal life, and asked you for so little in return. Defense against the giant squid. Secrecy from humans. But when a rogue mermaid tries to destroy the gift of immortality, ancient secrets rise from the depths, and the delicate balance of society rests in your hands.

Cinza rolls her eyes. "Yeah, that's why I tried to destroy the Eternity Orb," she says. "No Orb, no obligation. If you have another idea, I'm open to suggestions."


Just then, whale sonar rocks the ballast. Both you and Cinza reflexively place your hands onto the glass stem and listen to the message: "SQUID. They are attacking us, they are attacking the city, there are so many of them, everyone, everyone must help…."


Cinza panics and slams her hands against the sides of the thin crystal stem. "No!" she shouts. "Not again. I won't fight them again. They're not supposed to come here, they can't come here."


You notice through the glass as Arraia and Estre release their two guards, and then the four of them all turn to look out into the distance. You follow their gaze to see a giant wall of squid.


It must have something to do with that squid you killed. They must be here for vengeance. The two guards stop struggling and shouting to appeal to Estre and Arraia. "We need to join the fight," one says. "Do whatever you want with Cinza, just don't go crazy, OK? We need to protect the city." Estre and Arraia look at each other before hesitantly releasing them. They only give you a second glance before lashing off hard to meet the incoming army.
