Counted from the reviewers’ own thumbs up/down on the 168 English Steam reviews we collected, not by the AI. Valve’s all-language rating: Very Positive (925 of 1,013 positive).
Players widely praise the game's gorgeous pixel art and atmospheric presentation. [1][2][3] Many reviewers note that the English translation has numerous typos and grammatical errors. [1][2][4] Some players are put off by the anthropomorphic character designs, but others urge looking past them. [5][6][7]

I offered to do free localization work to fix this game's English translation. Many, many others have offered assistance in translating and localizing to other languages since its release. Instead of taking up the enthusiastic fans' offers, they decided to use AI for translations. This not only means countless people NOT being hired for work, but also shows how little YiTi/Gamera care about this game's community and …

First of all, the game is gorgeous. I know some people might not want to play this game because of the characters, but this is a spectacularly beautiful game. The level of details even for things that we don't need to interact with is just breathtaking. The music is perfect for every scene so far. The mechanics are good, I need to get used to pressing a button to get up and down for a bit, but nothing is difficult …

Don't let the anthropomorphic character designs throw you off - this is a seriously well-crafted narrative puzzle adventure. Characters are written naturally, focused on their roles in the story without forcing modern social messaging. While the game's time period feels a bit mixed up during the prologue (1627 with Victorian and modern American elements?), it finds its footing once you reach the main Mercury Abbey …

A nice little gem. The story is interesting and it kept me hooked throughout all of it, the music is fantastic, visuals are good, character design is maaaaybe a bit over the top but good quality nonetheless. Lots of unexpected surprises, both in plot and gameplay, which were very fun to experience. Mercury Abbey has one major flaw, which is the translation. It has a LOT of typos, grammar and lexical mistakes. …

This game was just absolutely gorgeous! I loved every character and every bit of the adventure. When I was finished I wanted to continue the adventure! I need more Uncle Harrod and Willie adventures! Especially, after that cliffhanger in the epilogue. The only critique I have is... PLEASE! Have someone go over the grammar and spelling. There were MANY times where I was struggling to understand what I just read (And …

Here is the WIP from yesterday! Gonna be live again with the Furry-Puzzle Game Mercury Abbey at 6PM CET! [1/2] #furryart #furry #dragon #rioku

positive · AI labelView post →Over sexualized furries is not my thing.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The terrible broken english is made even worse when you realise they used AI to generate it instead of hiring actual humans, the community even volunteered to do it. The artwork is beautiful and the soundtrack is lovely but its let down by the writing and for a game that's mostly reading things, it's not great.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wish I could recommend this. The game is absolutely beautiful and I think it deserves to do well. It plays well, and it is great in nearly all aspects except for the most important one - The English translation is absolutely horrendous. It is a struggle to understand what they're trying to say half the time, and this is bad when it is a MYSTERY ADVENTURE game. I wish they would improve it but after a long time of people giving feedback about it, it seems like they decided to rely on…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wish I had checked the comments before wasting my time on this game. Bad English makes it unbearable, especially when the little wolf is nagging all the time. I'm not even a native english speaker. The irony is that the protagenist himself is a struggeling writer is the cherry on top
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So while I generally like the game, and the premise of the game, I like the characters and environment's and some such, having read that they want to do AI-Assisted Translations, instead of hiring real people is incredibly disappointing. I'm sure there are people that you could've contacted and hired to do this job properly rather than letting a computer guess at dialogue and character nuance.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Live at my usual time, playing the new-ish adventure game "Mercury Abbey" You should be there, it has a gay-coded wolf with nipples

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ok, let's get the furry jokes out, because this game isn't even shy about playing into that. In the first seconds of the game you get introduced to your character, a bare cheated chiseled wolfman and the game definitly isn't lacking anthropomorphic animals that are suposed to be various degrees of hot. So yeah, it's definitely furry bait. But even if you think that's weird, try and look past it because Mercury Abbey is pretty damn good. Excellent adventure game with great characters, and a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A short but charming game. Very story driven and family oriented. Honestly, I'd gift this to a 10 year old. Pros -Good characterization -Easy puzzles -Engaging plot -Cozy pixelart. Cons -Kinda dull -Absolutely no sense of urgency or importance. -Artist put a bit too much effort into character models and I spent half the game wondering if this was a horny game only to realize there was ZERO ROMANCE PERIOD.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played a really nice furry adventure game called Mercury Abbey, and wanted to do a little portrait / art style study of the main character Harrod who I love very dearly. #MercuryAbbey

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fantastic game and a great spiritual successor to Tales of the Neon sea by the same devs. Translation quality is fine this time (unlike the pre-revised version of ToTnS), so unless you're an english teacher you won't have problems enjoying the plot. Less puzzles this time, and they're a bit easier, which is fine. One hint: if you're going for a 100% explore everything before entering a door/passage/ area you're supposed to go to, because stuff will get locked out and you'll have to load a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its a good game i liked it a lot but they wanna use ai for language translation instead of hiring people
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was an excellent game! I thoroughly enjoyed it - for those hesitating because of the furies PLEASE don't let that stop you from playing this game - there is nothing NSFW or other furry concerns. The game is very atmospheric, art style is incredible, and the story is very strong. I was fully immersed for days. The game also plays incredibly well and you are guided seamlessly through. I didn't feel the need to look up a walk through, and I never felt stuck or frustrated. The game is…

neutral · AI labelView post →Currently playing this mystery platformer furry game called "Mercury Abbey" in Steam. It's a very charming game and the artstyle is quite eye-catching! It seems to be set in 1650s(?) but there are already automobiles and other machinery that should exist centuries later in that era.
positive · AI labelView post →Greetings from the manager! I would like to recommend Mercury Abbey. A very enjoyable game, an atmospheric detective quest (And all the men there are very muscular. xd) #MercuryAbbey #furry
positive · AI labelView post →I just finished the game and I can only say I love it. I am a fan of detective novels and this game keeps a good pace with the story and the misteries from start to end. The Pixel art work is good and pleasant, the music and environment sounds help to inmmerse in the experience. At least with the current version, the english translation have a few typos but nothing that hinders the experience. The puzzles are fair and not overly complicated. If you like games where you unravel a mistery,…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Initially, I was drawn to this pixel art visual novel, and the adorable little dog named Willie made me even more curious about the full story of Mercury Abbey. In January 2022, they launched their first campaign to seek donations. By February 2022, their Kickstarter campaign had reached its funding goal, and I contributed to help the game developers. In April 2022, the demo for Mercury Abbey was released. I gave it a try and shared my feedback with the developers on their Discord server,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pros: - Gorgeously beautiful game - Strong characters - Agatha Christieesque story Cons: - Many translation mistakes, nonsensical sentences, writing mistakes, and poorly translated character names or descriptions. - Odd references to Tolkien, but not fully integrating into the same universe - Missed opportunities, notably symbolism. Symbols used seem random, not archetypal or related to a deeper reading of the game. 7/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fuck Mercury Abbey, I guess. Really enjoyed the game but not going to recommend AI slop - especially when people have outright offered to do the work and, in many cases, for free.
negative · AI labelView post →This is an interesting mystery game with some light puzzle solving. I really enjoy the art,music and atmosphere of the setting.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What a lovely and super cozy game! Big thanks for everyone who joined yesterday and joined for more cozy furry puzzle game! In Mercury Abbey we get to meet so many good looking furs! Im gonna be back live tomorrow at 2PM CET to do some RPGMaker Shenanigans! [1/2] #vtuber #furry #dragon

positive · AI labelView post →I played the game, but not yet finish it although seeing how bad the english translation makes my head feel a little dizzy when reading and I wish the devs do something with the english translation. I really love this game bought it in discount and hoping to finish it when I have the time. Still a good game for a casual gaming genre
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I want the sequel of this game so bad! Love the story even there's some of typos but it's 10/10 Story Telling game! I really recommend this!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Final review after beating the game! Minor non-specific spoilers. I'd give this game a solid B with accolades for charm and style. It's not hard at all, but it is very fun and satisfying to play mechanically. The characters and world are designed with a lot of love-- but the english translation has so many errors I found it hard to get immersed in the story. I enjoy how the game lays out breadcrumbs to lead you to a solution, but the rough dialogue made it feel less compelling and a bit silly…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Watching my housemate play that Mercury Abbey game while I work. Definitely adding Harrod to the 'to-draw' list~
neutral · AI labelView post →Probably the best light-hearted adventure that you can find Among the new ones, at least. When I fisrt saw it, I thought of it as of short puzzle-platformer with some visual novel sheen on it. Instead, I got a great detective story with not so easy puzzles, expanding to whole 9 hours (for me), with stunning pixel graphics, and glorious character design. If you want to spend your evening playing something light-hearted to clear your head and heart, if you want to achieve some peace, then I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What is this trend of Asian developers charging a lot of money for a game and then not even bothering to get the translations right? Just tried to play 2 games from Asian developers with horrible dialogue translations. And yet they are charging nearly $20? One of them didn't even have voice actors! I don't mind paying more for a game if it's got all the bells and whistles. But if I need a translator to decipher the horrible dialogue, I would expect the price to be reduced a bit. Have played…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So it looks like Escape Simulator 2 used AI generated content. We will not be continuing that game any longer on our streams. Thankfully we're doing Mercury Abbey later tonight instead :3
neutral · AI labelView post →Also highly recommend Mercury Abbey. It's a fun game with a nice story and even nicer mens~
positive · AI labelView post →Mercury Abbey was good as a game, but boy, it delivered on characters design, and for me Yanker Jr. really made a hit. You want to see the alts, including fully nude ones? Check my free Telegram channel. Thanks!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A solid pixel art adventure. The amazing pixel art and presentation is the main draw here as they are just gorgeous. The story itself is quite good too, though it takes a little while to fire up and things get interesting. There is a good bit of world building in that first section, but its fairly slow paced so just be aware things do get more interesting. The writing is okay but the translation and localisation is a little off sometimes, still a few typos too. Its nothing too egregious and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am enjoying this new Mercury Abbey game very much.
positive · AI labelView post →Fun game and premise is great. Visually appealing and keeps your attention. Lots of interactables to learn about the world. The big problem is definitely the translation. A lot of inconsistencies, formatting mistakes and mistranslations between Chinese and English which makes it hard to follow the narrative of the story. Sometimes you need to read the sentence multiple in order to make out what they are trying to convey. Personally, I reached out to the team in order to help out with their…

neutral · AI labelView post →DO yourself a fucking favor and play Mercury Abbey, Incredible game
positive · AI labelView post →The pixel art is top notch and the story is very interesting - not the best but still very entertaining - it has tons of lore and well written characters. The drawback is that the game is very linear and the puzzles are not difficult at all, there are a few mini games in between but they are short and easy. It is a simple game at its core but the joy is in the story and its characters
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Let's continue our experience in this incredible charming game Mercury Abbey. The plot slightly thickens and I am all for it 💜 #Vtuber #ENVtuber #FurryVtuber twitch.tv/boardome

positive · AI labelView post →Beautiful pixel art and charming characters. The adventure has me hooked! It's a bit riddled with typos however and it could do with a translation pass or two to better fit the setting. Post-playthrough edit: Having finished the story, I can say that the mystery of game is fun and intriguing, there's plenty of twists, turns and secrets to find, and quite a few things that might suggest there to be even more waiting on the wings, I hope the developers good luck in their next project as I can't…

positive · AI labelView post →This game is very promising, im still in chapter 1 but I already can recommend this even with some typos or missing letters. Its still very understandable text. I tried demo and it hooked me in and now that full game it out. I just love every moment of it. Characters are very good and well written. even with some typos some chars can be seen using words in such way. Game also knows how to build up or change atmosphere depending on situation. I love every minute of it. 8/10
