Pull Mermaid Out

Somewhere beneath a crumbled ancient city, a mermaid is stuck — and only careful thinking can get her out. Pull Mermaid Out is a puzzle game built around one deceptively simple mechanic: pulling pins in the right sequence to guide water and clear a path home. Wrong order, wrong outcome.

The ruined city is threaded with drainage pipes, and the mermaid's fate depends entirely on how you read the system before you act. There's a quiet tension in studying each setup, tracing the flow in your head before committing. Some solutions feel obvious until they aren't.

What makes it stick is how the puzzles escalate without warning — a configuration that looks familiar suddenly has a new wrinkle that forces you to rethink everything. The illustrated ruins have a melancholy charm to them, and the mermaid herself is hard not to root for. Worth picking up just to see how far the levels can push the concept.
