MonsterVine: "Paranormasight: The Mermaid’s Curse builds on Square Enix’s cult-hit visual novel with a gripping supernatural mystery, branching story paths, and mermaid folklore on Nintendo Switch, PC, and mobile."
WTMG's Heidi Hawes: "PARANORMASIGHT: The Mermaid’s Curse is a wonderful follow-up to the The Seven Mysteries of Honjo. You won’t need to have played the first game to understand this one, but there are a few references to characters and events from that game that will give fans of the first an extra layer of appreciation. The pacing is can be rough, especially during the opening hour or so, but beyond that is a game that has plenty of twists, turns, and thought-provoking themes."
Asura from NoobFeed writes: It is clear that Square Enix is capable of telling personal stories in games that are not massive role-playing games (RPGs), as demonstrated by Paranormasight: The Mermaid's Curse, which is a part of the wider library that the business has. The fact that size does not necessarily mean effect is brought to your attention by this. When viewed through the lens of retrospect, The Mermaid's Curse is successful because it takes into account the knowledge and emotional range of its audience.
Swapping J-horror for maritime mystery, The Mermaid’s Curse remains a cerebral treat with its clever encyclopedia-led puzzles and atmospheric 1980s setting.
