Welcome to Mizzenmast: Moray Dismay!

When I came up with the captive Mightwen - a weird, eldritch moray eel that the restaurant called Mizzenmast was using as a backup generator - I knew I was going to have to do something with him.  So, here it is.

Gosh, that's a weird sentence.

I had only a few hours or a few days to get this done for FishFest 2024- and those hours were cut short by some long after-work meetings (the joys of working in the public school system during state testing season).  Hence, the visual novel is EXTREMELY short.  To make up for it, I made myself learn two new RenPy things.  One, how to change text colors within the script.  Two, how to create a web build of the game.

I am so ridiculously happy with the end result.  Even with my art - and guys, I absolute LOATHE my art style that stalled out in 2nd grade - adds a weird surrealness to everything.  I gotta do more with Mizzenmast if I am this happy with the end results.  :-)

By the way, as was emphasized in the game, I shall emphasize here: morays are neither electric nor color-changing nor necessarily jerks in real life.  They are slimy.  Sometimes they are nippy.  But a lot of times they are weirdly affectionate.  They also don't talk IRL, although I'm sure they would have very nice things to say.  Point being, don't use this as proof that all morays are meanies with shock powers.  Mightwens are the exception to the rule.
