If you like adventure with an interesting story line, this game is for you.
If you like fascinating quests and puzzles, this game is for you.
If you are tired of HOPA with cloned storylines, this game is for you.
If you are a woman and you're looking for a companion for traveling on a ship, this game is definitely for you! :)

If you are a woman and you're looking for a companion for traveling on a ship, this game is definitely for you! :)

To begin with, the game is pretty stable running on my old computer and has a pretty good graphics.
In my spare time I like to draw and I liked the intro painted by hand. Besides intro reveals the storyline pretty well. Although the intro could have been shorter.
STORYLINE: 5 of 5

The graphics in the game is clear and clean. In some places it is grim, but the storyline requires it.
GRAPHICS: 4 of 5

All HOS in the game are done very well. They are interactive and all items are well positioned. All HO scenes are not too hard and bright enough. They have some unexpected ideas. I especially liked the idea with dragonfly :) You have to try it!
HOS: 5 of 5

About the puzzle I have to be discussed separately. They fit well with the gameplay.
Puzzles are very logical. In general in this game there are NO stupid and illogical quests and puzzles. Personally, I was always annoyed illogical quests. For example, in one game, in order to open the suitcase, I spent an hour looking for the key, even though I had a hammer in your inventory. In real life, I would broke a suitcase with a hammer! In this game there is no such nonsense, and I'm glad.
All puzzles in the game have an average level of complexity.
Although someone may seem puzzles too hard, and someone - too simple.
PUZZLES: 5 of 5 (even 6 of 5!)

The music in this game is very beautiful. I'm not a musician, but it seemed to me that the music is done very well.
MUSIC: 5 of 5

The game has two difficulty levels. You can switch the difficulty of the game in the options. This is very encouraging. Several times I switched the difficulty and noticed that this changes the messages in the game! In casual mode, the player gets more information on passing game. For example, in the engine room (casual mode), you can find out what needs gumboots... Oops, I think it's already too much :) Show less

I recommend this game!

If you like the adventure in the style of the old school, you'll like it. The only minus is the lack of voiceovers.

The bottom line:
- Fun: 5
- Graphics: 5
- Story line - 5
- Challenge - 3 (in my opinion)
- Music - 5
- Voiceovers - n/a - 0

Except for the voiceovers, I have nothing bad to say about this game. although someone may seem itt too easy.

I recommend this game!

I am not an expert in graphics and other niceties, I'm just playing. I decided to buy it. Show less

In spite of not being too impressed at the beginning, it didn't take long before I was totally immersed in it and ended up liking it a lot!

I think any translation errors were fixed with the second edition, which also removed the cursing that some people complained about. There are a couple of continuity issues (having to put out a fire with water when a fire extinguisher is available but can't be picked up), but don't let these kinds of inconsequential issues spoil the game for you. Even though it's in an earlier graphic style, I believe actually that adds to its charm.

This is a unique, fun-to-play game. I hope to see more from this developer. Show less

Just a good adventure game. The game is really very much like a classic adventure game. Oh, retro! Atmosphere of the game is the strongest advantage of the game. Especially when enabled camera rolling. Full feeling of being on board a ship. Perhaps, some of the players may lull :)
Quests in the game are great too. All pretty thought out.

The mini-games are perfectly fit into the game. I really liked the new variety of match3. It's excellent!
The music is only in puzzles and HO. But it's really great. Show less

Graphics are good, story is really great, but there is no voiceover. The game is too easy. Items in HOS can be hard to spot but the hint button works really good there and through out the game. Puzzles are pretty good. I bought it.

Give it and try it. I recommend.

I was surprised that I actually liked this game, it is an at your own pace game that you need to figure out on your own what is going on, it does not hand hold but does give you help if you need it.
The puzzles are great and the HO are the same as we are use to.

I liked having the 33 white balls that you have to find being in the inventory list so you can see what you have found and what you need to find right in eye site.
I think I will get a lot of fun playing time from this game and for $2.99 I am not out much is things go south.
I only have two things that would make the game better for me and 1 is if the map shipped you off to the location you needed because it is hardly any use at all. and 2 of the hint filled faster, it is really pretty slow. Show less

I recommend this game!
