Mermade is a survival horror adventure from indie team The Mermakers. Its Steam page is open, a demo is playable on itch.io, and no release date has been set.
Mermade is a survival horror adventure about a woman turned into a mermaid through human experimentation. The protagonist lost both legs and must escape an abandoned aquarium that has become an experimental facility. The premise recasts the mermaid fairy tale as forced transformation, and the game treats the body change itself as the horror.
The team behind the game, The Mermakers, is a group of German university students. They released a trailer in early August, then opened the Steam store page later that month. The Steam page gave the public its first detailed look at the premise and at a core mechanic: movement differs on land and in water, so the player navigates the facility differently depending on where the character is.
A demo is available on itch.io with roughly 30 minutes of playtime. The Steam release date is undecided, and the game is English only.
