The Mother of Pearls

I gotta say that this game had more of an impact than Back When in my personal opinion. Perhaps the fact that I love mermaids has something to do with it but honestly, I truly wish it was longer, there's not many games about mermaids out there and this one could have a longer story for sure, even tho I think the way it ended is great, it's not hard to figure out what's going on while reading it but I didn't expect the daughter to be aware as well, so the question she made at the end was a great twist. May I ask how did you come up with this VN? Did you have any particular inspirations? I'm genuinely curious about your creative process.
