**I will warn you that this is a project that has been cancelled before, and may never be finished.**
Plot
Trapped in a collapsed cave, Tulia is slowly losing her mind to memories of the war between sirens and humans. After being found by two men out searching for treasure, she discovers that thousands of years have gone by since her initial departure from her disaster-stricken home. It appears as if she is the only mermaid left in the world and the two men come to the conclusion that they have a fortune on their hands. However, as they try to transport her to the nearest town, they are intercepted by a friendly water nymph named Pim. Pim reveals there is a whole other world in which mythical creatures reside, including mermaids. So, promising them treasures beyond their wildest dreams, Pim and Lily set off with their new unlikely companions, Tucker and Owen, in order to find the rumored entrance to this strange world. Will they make it there alive? Or does fate have something else entirely in store for Tulia?

The story seems fascinating and your art is really good...

Just a suggestion, but try to break the main post in different parts with bold text labels or something more interesting...
It makes the game look more polished...

I bookmarked this so I can keep an eye on it.

I quite like the writing sample from Peter's path. Lily seems a bit sarcastic which is a nice change from the average oblivious otome protagonist.
I support Tailor Tales!

Yayy!! :D And I love the name Lily dearly, so I consider you very lucky! haha, but I'm thinking that the demo might (don't hold me to this) be released in about a month or so...I'll have to see :/

Yess! Help would be great ^.^ If you could perhaps colour, that would be awesome!! :D Of course this is a very slow moving project, so It'd be a while I'd actually send you anything to colour -.-
