The moral of the story is to don't ever steal from mermaids.

I thought the Formosans were the ones that originally stole from the mermaids, because the mermaids clearly wanted the shells inside the chest back and the surviving mermaid peacefully leaves when given the remaining shell back by the third mate in the epilogue. The second mate's mutiny just made it easier for the mermaids to try and get the shells back.

Am I misremembering the sequence of events, or did they (ending spoilers) throw in the monkey after making the deal with the mermaids? Initially I thought they were throwing it in as bait, but that doesn't really make sense in hindsight.

The ship surgeon purposely killed the monkey so the inspector could use the watch on the monkey's hand to see what happened.

I'm assuming that noticing the hammock numbers is necessary and expected for completing the game. But hot drat did it make me feel like a real smart sherlock.

Yeah, its pretty essential, but its a fantastic environmental clue that I also really appreciated when it clicked for me.

Is her story like this? I�m looking for a similar game as well

Yes it is, though it focuses primarily on phrases and words and it ultimately leaves the conclusions up to the player unlike Obra Dinn which is more upfront with what you need to conclude.

The shift from the stuff on the bridge to The Doom chapter was so well done. The music kicking in just as you're probably starting to look up was fantastic.
