Featuring a new setting, folklore and cast of characters, Paranormasight: The Mermaid's Curse is a mystery/adventure that presents a new “Curse” for players to uncover.

Will you survive the curse together this summer? A new supernatural mystery adventure begins, telling a bittersweet story of the passions of youth featuring new locations, new legends and a new cast of characters.

A brand new Paranormasight tale begins in Ise-Shima, Japan - a region rich in mermaid legends. Join a cast of fascinating characters investigating the mysteries of the Mermaids of Ise. Unravel their different perspectives on the case and guide the story to its thrilling conclusion.

The remote island of Kameshima sits nestled in Ise bay.
Yuza Minakuchi is a young pearl diver who lives on the island and spends his days underwater gathering, together with his best friend Azami Kumoi. After he has a bewildering supernatural experience encountering another version of himself on the ocean floor, a series of curses start to befall the island...
A girl of unknown origins, a treasure hunter from a foreign land and a mysterious housewife investigating a drowning. Paths cross and destinies collide as they come closer to the secret of the Mermaids of Ise, a legend that has been obscured by the fog of history for so long.


Characters from the story set on Kameshima

  • Shinobu Wakamura: The single most influential person on Kameshima. Although admired for his many contributions to Kameshima'sdevelopment, his personality leaves much to be desired with abundant rumors.
  • Shotaro Wakamura: The only son of Shinobu Wakamura. A pleasant and sincere young man, he is well regarded by those who know him, often being told that he has been blessed with a variety of talents.
  • Tsuyu Minakuchi: YuzaMinakuchi’sgrandmother, and a former ama diver. She was one of the best ama divers on Kameshima—especially in her younger days, during which she had a fierce rivalry with Chie Higashiyama.
  • Chie Toyama: The de facto leader of the ama divers on Kameshima, she is a highly influential figure on the island. She has displayed a natural talent for diving ever since her days as an apprentice, coming to be known as "Chie the Mermaid" for the deft ease in which she moves through the water.
  • Kikuko Tsutsui: A woman born and raised on Kameshima. She is known for her friendly, sociable nature and almost sisterly tendency to look after others.
  • Kippei Ikoma: Director of a venture company primarily focused on planning and producing tourism promotion events in Ise City.
  • Masaru Ide: A detective from the Mie Prefectural Police. He often happens to be walking nearby whenever incidents occur—something his colleagues frequently tease him about.
