Charakter-Index

The Mermaid Mask bietet a tightly written ensemble cast blending returning Detective Grimoire universe favorites with new Mortuga Submarine personnel. SFB Games fully voice-acts eight suspect-tier characters whose alibis, motives, and means populate the Verdacht-Tracker, while supporting roles enrich Silkwirm-on-Sea surface scenes. This index links every major profile page with spoiler-conscious biographies appropriate for players mid-investigation. The victim, Captain Magnus Mortuga, casts a long shadow — his relationships with each crew member define the twelve-hour campaign's emotional and mechanical stakes.

Ermittler

Detective Grimoire returns as the player protagonist — a verbose fox detective whose internal monologue doubles as tutorial framing. Partner Sally Spears provides contrast with pragmatic quips, hint nudges, and optional dialogue choices during crew interviews. Together they investigate Mortuga's locked-room murder without supernatural powers, relying on observation and evidence law familiar from prior SFB titles.

Opfer und Autorität

Magnus Mortuga — celebrated submarine captain and theatre impresario — is found dead in the Illusion Theatre. Captain Seafoam serves as interim authority coordinating crew cooperation and submarine access; Seafoam is also a voiced suspect with independent suspicion tracks.
