Features & Capabilities

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 Sea Eternal" is an epic interactive fantasy novel by Lynnea Glasser, author of "Creatures Such as We" and "Coloratura," winner of the 2013 Interactive Fiction Competition and numerous XYZZY awards. Your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based--283,000 words, without graphics or sound effects--and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

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.

Will you fight to protect your immortality, or surrender it for a higher cause? Will you choose sides in the neverending war between the whales and the giant squid? Will your undying love save the City of Glass, or destroy it?

this was probably the first time a 1 star review made me want to download a game. seeing how some people were annoyed by the "forced sociopolitical agendas" or whatever i immediately knew i needed to read the story and oh boy i was not disappointed. as a non-binary individual it is so incredibly rare to see representation of myself anywhere in games or have the option to chose a non-binary character. thank you so much for giving me that option here. on top of all that the story line and writing are genuinely incredible and absolutely worth buying the full version. the only thing i wish i had was artwork to go with the story.

The game started off fantastic, really. I was excited how the rest would go. But then (SPOILER ALERT) once the player’s first love interest turns into a merperson, it’s all downhill from there. You feel like you don’t even have a say in what direction the story goes anymore! Then there’s the ending. Way. Too. Sudden. It just rushes into the conclusion, which is super dissatisfying by the way. Come on guys, you can do better than this!

The ending doesn’t hold you accountable for any of your actions and made me feel bored with the story because it was all leading up to something too short. I played multiple times but never felt satisfied with any ending. My hope was that the author was working on part two or something but nope
