    So glad to see a horror game where what happened is what happened. Plot isn't inside the main characters head, character is not mad and is not hallucinating. Just a great story with high stakes that doesn't spiral into madness of "it was aaaall a dreeeeaaam"

    What a strong idea for a story. They use a captured siren to crash ships and loot them legally because its on their property. But they have to feed it victims to keep it from dying, so they try to record the siren's music so they can do it any time they want. Someone pay these developers for the story and make this into a movie.

    No lie, in addition to the Welsh and Greek mythology influences, I am reminded of the film made for the Professor Layton series. It's the melodies being played together that made me think of it. There are two prominent melodies in the film which can bring a legendary city back from under the water, and during the final battle, the titular professor discovers a third melody that is used to defeat Descolé, a prominent villain for the series.

    Wild how the follow up to this game is to have a wave based shooter akin to Call of Duty zombies.
    But story wise, it shows that the bad ending is the canonical one as Elizabeth has control while her daughter Arianwen opposes it. Having the player thwart any broadcasting to have the rest of the world descend into darkness.

    The practice of salvaging goods from wrecked ships, was called wrecking. There is no clear evidence that such practices as false lights or decoy ships was ever employed either in the Americas or Europe. In the US, the practice was in 1921 when licenses were no longer grants. In Britain, reports continued in to the 20th century as well. These days, salvage in the UK is to be reported to the Receiver of Wreck, an admin position that also covers the possession of royal fish on behalf of the crown.
