SFB Games has confirmed The Mermaid's Mask, the direct follow-up to 2019s Tangle Tower, will arrive on the Nintendo Switch eShop on 16th July.
The studio, best known for puzzle-driven hits such as Snipperclips and more recently Crow Country, revealed the sequel during the SGF Story Rich Showcase, positioning the title as another narrative-focused entry for the Switch family.
The Mermaid's Mask returns players to the investigative duo Grimoire and Sally for a locked-room murder mystery set aboard a sprawling hand-crafted submarine.
According to SFB Games, the case centers on the death of a submarine captain and unfolds through a mix of interrogation, exploration, and layered puzzle design.
The developer has highlighted a fully voice-acted cast of eccentric suspects, hand-drawn visuals, and a transition to fully 3D clue interactions compared to the previous game.
Rewriting notable reception of the predecessor in clear, journalistic language: when Tangle Tower launched in 2019, critics praised it as an exemplary point-and-click adventure, commending its intricate puzzles, well-written dialogue, and standout voice acting.
SFB Games says the sequel aims to retain that narrative and puzzle craftsmanship while expanding the series toolkit with three-dimensional clue presentation.
Key features confirmed in the SGF showcase include:
- Investigate an impossible locked-room murder
- Explore a sprawling, hand-crafted submarine filled with secrets
- Interrogate a cast of eccentric, fully voice-acted suspects
- Find and piece together clues to uncover motive, means, and opportunity
- Experience satisfying aha moments through layered puzzle design
Platform and release details are straightforward: The Mermaid's Mask will be released digitally on the Nintendo Switch eShop on 16th July.
SFB Games released Tangle Tower in 2019 to critical acclaim and has continued to build a reputation for puzzle-forward, story-driven games since, including Snipperclips and Crow Country.
The studio remains an independent developer focused on narrative, art-driven adventures for Nintendo platforms.
For Switch owners who enjoyed Tangle Tower, The Mermaid's Mask looks set to deliver more of the same investigative charm with updated presentation and new mechanical twists.
Keep an eye on the eShop and SFB Games channels for launch-day details and pricing information as the July release approaches.
