I just found this posting now so sorry for late reply, however you guys got your folklore mixed up. Mermaids don't hypnotice at all. They are just women with female upper bodies that get legs if they find true love. It's Sirens that got hypnotic song, and they used this ability to lure sailors that passed them by to crash into sharp underwater reefs to sink their boats. Blubb blubb blubb!
I do not know about the "whip and chains" theme for the "Sequel", however, the extreme themes (sex with animals stuff)is not appropriate for this as mentioned in the other similar (forum) threads.
I am glad that Shark is going to continue this "Story". However, gamers and visitors need to be patient for the upcoming game.
Is there a possibility of an addition of a new character to the Fantasy Dreams Sequel? I do not know what the (new) location is however, ideas for a new character can be based on this location. Generic "hints" on a location (building, grounds, near a source of a body of water, or other places) could further generate additional ideas.
Or only the current existing characters going to be used in this game?
