There it goes - The Mermaid Mask crosses the 3000 Steam review mark, and only 19 of them are negative! In a complete reversal of The Normal Order Of Things, I still go to the Steam reviews and read a few when I need a pick-me-up. They've been consistently lovely since day 1!

The latest issue of @edgeonline has something very special for us - a 6 page studio profile on SFB Games, covering our 24(!) year history of making games together. From our early days making Flash games as The Super Flash Bros, to our newest games Crow Country & The Mermaid Mask!

The Mermaid Mask is back on -10% sale on Steam, but even better is the Detective Grimoire Series bundle: since the previous 2 games in the series are -80%, the whole bundle is nearly half price overall Over half of all TMM sales have been through this bundle!

I've always loved @GenkiThings's hardware, every device I've had of theirs has been outstanding. Looks like they might have done it again!
It is live. Manta is on #Kickstarter now. The first controller with its own OS: a screen on the front, MantaOS behind it, no app to open. Super Early Bird is the lowest price it will ever be. Limited slots. 🔗 bit.ly/get_Manta

The Mermaid Mask launched 1 month ago and it's gone better than we dreamed! Over 2,300 Steam reviews - most of them glowing - and 99% positive, we couldn't have asked for a better response. And sales-wise, TMM did almost as well as Crow Country in its first month. Amazing!! 🧜💖

One of 2026's best-reviewed games might also be its funniest. 🔍 The Mermaid Mask (SFB Games' Detective Grimoire series) is a point-and-click murder mystery on a bizarre submarine, and our writer compares its comedy to Portal 2. @SFBDim @SFBTom gamerant.com/best-games-2026…

Finally updated the SFBGames.com website with the Mermaid Mask release platforms. It’s always nice seeing our games lined up like this. I wonder what will be next?

I crunched the numbers, and The Mermaid Mask is currently the 5th highest rated Overwhelmingly Positive game on ALL of Steam. Astonishing is right!!
It's astonishing to me that The Mermaid Mask has only been out for 2 and a half weeks and we've already got over 2000 reviews on Steam... (and 99% positive!)
