< p > Players take on the role of a home-staying gamer who is trying to catch the eye of their crush, a mermaid named Coraline. The protagonist's time is filled with daily routines such as playing video games, attending classes, and interacting with other classmates. Talking to Coraline is the key goal of the protagonist, but the mermaid is shown only through phone conversations and profile descriptions on the phone. < /p >
< p > To catch Coraline's eye, the player must develop a good impression. This is achieved by giving thoughtful gifts and keeping up with the daily interactions, all while not revealing their true feelings for the mermaid. A major decision that must be made is between going for an honest confession and potentially ruining their relationship or keep up the subtle approach. < /p >
< p > The game runs entirely in a web browser, without the need for a download or registration. A notable part of the gameplay is the interactions, as they can end in failure or success and ultimately shape the relationship with Coraline. The player's choices significantly impact the mermaid's confidence, making each choice a critical one in winning her heart or losing their chance. The goal is for the player to make their crush a crush no more. < /p >
