Originated from pixels, perfected by pixels
(During the conceptualization of Miss Leckie's character, there was consideration given to including glasses. However, after much deliberation, they were ultimately not included in the final character design.)
Every character in the game underwent meticulous development. Their depictions resulted from countless intense mental battles: What kind of personality does this character have? Which type of animal would best represent them? What accessories can better convey their temperament?
However, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Mercury Abbey continues the exquisite pixel art style and the mysterious light and shadow design found in Tales of the Neon Sea. Now, these elements are magnified and showcased in the game's environments, creating an exquisite tapestry of visual splendor.
The red brick wall upstairs, Mrs. Honeyclaw's tea set, the flickering lights of the barber shop... Countless details converge to form a vivid tapestry of everyday street scenes.
As you pass through the forest, the swaying dreamcatchers emit a mesmerizing sound that captivates the heart.
While walking through the Greenhouse, delicate blue spores gently scatter from underfoot.
What secrets lie hidden within the enigmatic Oriental garden?
In Mercury Abbey, how many unknowns lurk behind the scenes? Stay tuned for the GWB THE ART OF INDIES, showcasing unique charming art!
Announcement regarding Mercury Abbey release date
In the past 1 year, we have devoted ourselves to game development: polishing the plot, enriching the game content, upgrading the game screen and so on.
At the same time, more interesting characters have been created by our team.
More than 40 furry characters will appear in the game, and each character has its own detailed background story.
All these efforts are aimed at bringing players an amazing, interesting and colorful furry world.
However, the workload of these contents go beyond all our expectations.
In addition, Chengdu has suffered from COVID-19, high temperature, power limited in summer and other troubles this year, which also delayed the development of Mercury Abbey.
We have been working overtime to catch up and planned to complete the development within this year, but many interesting elements and details will be deleted then.
Therefore, we decided to postpone the release of the game for better game experience and higher game quality.
As for the date, we will tell all players as soon as we confirm it. I believe our game is worth waiting for.
We are looking forward to that day, we will embark on the adventure with you.
At last, thanks again for all the players' support!
Updating of Mercury Abbey DEMO
Welcome to Mercury Abbey... Again!
After Mercury Abbey DEMO released, we have received many players showing their love for the game. Thank you sooooo much!
Today we will update the demo, fix some small bugs and Willie found some new things inside!
With the update you will find some new collectable items in the demo, however we developed the game in Chinese and do not have enough to polish the English translation due to some reasons. So you may find that description of some items are not in perfect status right now, we're really sorry for that.
Now we're working on that and will release another update to improve the localization quality in next few weeks.
《水银疗养院》DEMO小总结
咱们的游戏DEMO已经上线两周咯！在这两周里，收到了非常多玩家朋友的反馈。很多朋友都表达了对游戏的喜爱和支持，同时也有很多中肯的意见和建议，甚至有玩家了写了超详细的试玩总结，包含关卡设计、UI还有音乐等。每一份反馈和支持都为我们的开发注入了动力，在这里，我将一些比较关键的问题列出，并会在后续的版本中进行改正和优化：
1.错别字。谁能想到在看别人玩的时候，错别字会如此明显呢？我们已再次逐字校对文本并改正了错别字；
2.蜘蛛硬币的位置。有不少玩家被卡在了寻找蜘蛛硬币这里。当前蜘蛛硬币的位置其实是一个隐藏的收集元素，原本不打算在DEMO里展示，所以在里暂时去掉了，并把蜘蛛硬币挪到了这里。后续我们会调整蜘蛛硬币的位置，让这段冒险拥有更好的游玩体验；
3.威利攀爬藤蔓会在某个特别位置卡住，后续会进行修复；
4.游戏的屏幕尺寸会在一些非16:9的显示器上出现适配问题，导致画面或者UI比较别扭，后续会进行修复；
当然，还有一些操作上的小问题，或者因电脑机能、配置而引发的奇怪小意外，我们也会在未来的开发过程中，逐步优化和调整。预计会在5月下旬对DEMO版进行一次更新，在此之前也希望收集到更多的反馈~
另外，还有两个针对玩家朋友常提出的小疑问的解答：
1.哈罗德在不穿衣服的情况下为什么不能上街呢？答案是如果穿着暴露，会被杜林警官抓走的……
2.另一个是关于《迷雾侦探2》的问题。目前我们应该是没有机会做《迷雾侦探》的续作了，毕竟版权还在老东家手上……
最后，感谢所有支持咱们《水银疗养院》的玩家们，我们会继续努力，争取正式版早日上线！也希望大家能把《水银疗养院》推荐给更多的朋友。同时，也要感谢我们的发行伙伴Gamera Games的辛苦付出，让更多人知道了咱们的游戏~
The Free DEMO is now out on Steam, join Harrod and Willie's adventure!
"Barouche bound for Mercury Abbey has now arrived, please get in."
It is those who are going to the Abbey indeed. Funny thing is they all have invitations for the DEMO, that makes Hall curious. He throws on a coat and rushes out. His footsteps blended with the sunshine of the Moonrise Avenue.
"The free DEMO of Mercury Abbey has launched on Steam now!"
Someone shouts.
Hall rushes to get on the barouche, as he hears someone continuing to say:
"If you have any questions about Mercury Abbey, feel free to ask in Discord"
Before the sound of the voice fades away, the barouche leaves to its destination...
-----------
Anyway, go enjoy the DEMO!
Oh, meet us on PAX EAST! We're in Booth:15099, join Harrod and Willie's adventure team now! Willie have some little gifts for you.
Welcome to Mercury Abbey! The DEMO will be launched on April 22nd
This story is not only about Harrod and Willie, but also about every other person who is in the Mercury Abbey. Now it’s time to start the show! The gates to adventure will open at April 22nd 3:00pm (UTC+8:00) for you to embark on a journey with our fur-friends.
Yay, don't forget to join our Discord: https://discord.gg/pwUVVM96py and WISHLIST US!

Well well, I’ll be here waiting for you all. So, before you arrive… I’d better get to cleaning any shed leaves and hiding any secrets not meant to be discovered…
I’ll be here… waiting… always…
Mercury Abbey is NOW on KickStarter
"Mercury Abbey has started its crowdfunding campaign."
It's an invitation of embarking on an adventure together. You've heard that Harrod and Willie, the uncle and nephew, are heading to an Abbey in the mountains. It is said to be a dangerous place, full of alchemists' traps and fairies' curses. Oh. Look at your thin outfit, I'm afraid it won't last long.
The good news is that Hall, the adventurer merchant, brings some good deals that can help you. For example the advanturer package: A discount on Steam activation key, the mysterious commemorative crafted coins, an advanturer notebook left by Willie the nasty, and maybe you can join the game through a interdimentional tunnel. Check them out here:
>>>KickStarter<<< (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gameragames/retro-pixel-art-x-furry-puzzle-adventure-game-mercury-abbey)
Take a look, Hall's little store is packed with customers. That's how you know that there are so many friends who like pixel puzzle and animal anthropomorphic (Furry) games. It's a lively place with a mix of banquets and glasses. Coins clinked and crowdfunding money fell into the jar. When the jar was full, Hall thought, he'd contact the construction team and add a few more rooms to that Abbey, and decorate it with some luxury.
It was snowing outside, but we have everyone in the cabin. There is support and attention from the Mercury Abbey players. No more cold in this winter day of us.
