### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2019-03-18*

While I can say I love this game it isn’t the best mc was pretty bland but besides that it’s a great game I wasn’t to happy with the tire ending though not going into detail because spoilers. I can say if you liked this one you should also get the sleeping beast one it’s better than this one in my opinion
:3

### 2/5 — Drowned mermaid

*2018-11-10, version 1.13*

Cant believe I wasted £8.00 on this the chapters was really really short really gutted to be honest the this story line had a lot going for it if was more longer

### 4/5 — Good story

*2016-02-01*

Liked the story and all, but the script needs to be proofread a bit. The tense will change sometimes and stuff like that.

### 5/5 — great game

*2015-01-24*

I love this game! There are many different endings, items, and photos to get. The voice acting is good, and I love the artwork! This is one of the best games that I have ever bought, and it is worth every penny!

### 3/5 — It was ok

*2013-06-23*

Personally, tragedy  isn't really my thing and often enough, it turns out pretty bad. This was well written and I really enjoyed the music. I really wish though the endings didn't turn out the way they did. I wish they put the soundtrack in the extras so you could replay the music. I think 10 is alright though I wish it was cheaper.

### 3/5 — Good enough

*2013-06-14*

It was pretty good but I thought when it said horror mystery novel I thought there would be horror......

### 4/5 — Made me cry...

*2013-06-10, version 1.1.1*

I loved it, a sad and heart warming story...

### 5/5 — Absolutely loved it

*2013-06-06*

Amazing (: It would be great if you created another Café 0 game, with maybe a different story than Drowned Mermaid. I'm not sure if you currently plan to do that, but if you did, I would definitely get it (: Keep up the good work

### 1/5 — Disappoint

*2013-04-07*

Let me say this first I've been playing so many novel games and otome games. I don't hate mysterious story either but this? I'm very disappoint that I paid for it. What a poor main character like this and in the end all of them betrayed her. I also don't like true ending of this game but CGs, background sound effect is okay though I like it. If you ask my to play it again I'll say no. One time is really enough.

### 4/5 — Meets expectations.

*2013-03-13*

The choices were "on rails," but the story itself was pretty good. I like how this one didn't have immediate bad endings, unlike the East Tower series. I wish I could collect all the different permutations of the costumes, and maybe get a Game Center achievement for it or something. Too bad it only shows the "pure" dark and light dresses in the gallery.
