In Sea of Lies Tide of Treachery we are off on a fun adventure on the high seas.

In Sea of Lies Tide of Treachery we are off on a fun adventure on the high seas. We play the game as an investigator called in by the navy to investigate a smuggler who has been plying her trade in the waters around the Island of St. Margaret. Unfortunately several ships have been lost as a result of the nefarious activities in this area and the navy really needs your help. Will you be able to stop the pirate and solve the mystery? Jump into this fun game with lots of twists and turns in the plot. I have to admit that I really didn’t figure it out until much later in the game and loved the fact that I was kept guessing.

The game offers four modes of gameplay: Casual, Hard, Advanced, and the custom mode where you can set the game up for the way you like to play. Nothing much needs to be said about the graphics because once you see this dev’s name you know that the graphics and sound package will be top-rate.

You have an interactive, transporter type map but no helpers or other gimmicks as tools.

As usual the HOPS are varied and multi-tiered with some interaction required to find some items. I happen to enjoy the HOPS in from this dev because of the great variety they include. If you don’t want to complete the HOPS by locating items then there is an alternate match 3 game available.

As many of you know, puzzles are my favorite part of HOPA games and the puzzles are very creative and excellent. Of course some might seem easy for many of you but for me they were just right. As we progress through the game the puzzles become a bit more challenging so I think there is something for everyone.

There are some thoughts that I will mention in closing that might be important to some gamers. I had to suspend a sense of reality because I doubt that the navy would hire a female investigator during the time period that is seemingly depicted in the game. The other thing is that I really had a difficult time pinpointing a time period because of the mix of clothing and types of ships depicted. I guess that since this is a game it really shouldn’t matter but I do know that several of you gamers really like accuracy in your games. If you can suspend your ideas about this sort of thing then you will undoubtedly enjoy the game for its gameplay, storyline and entertainment value. I purchased the CE of the game and found it to be entertaining and quite a bit of fun mainly because of all the twists in the storyline. If you happen to enjoy a good whodunit, Sea of Lies Tide of Treachery might just be the right game for you. As always, I recommend that you at least try the demo to see if this is a game you will enjoy. As an afterthought, I should let you know that the game picks up and becomes much better after the demo.

I rarely write a review but have been a member of Big Fish for many years. I was completely entertained by this game. I enjoyed the Hidden Objects which were included.

I recommend this game!

In this installment be ready to face most dangerous and merciless pirate of year 1863 in Sea of Lies: Tide of Treachery Collector's Edition. This cruel monster is not a man but a woman – her name is Rebecca Lowe and a huge reward is promised for her head. No one was able to get this reward for now, instead Rebecca, also known as the Sea Ripper, robbed and destroyed dozens of Royal ships on her path. Last victim of Sea Ripper was HMS Mary Rose, bringing gold, essential for the crown. The Royal Navy lost their patients and sent Duke of Reddington with the ship to get rid of Sea Ripper, but Rebecca destroyed the ship and killed Duke. And now you’re taking his place, trying to catch her! This adventure continues excellent traditions of the series, but it isn't my personal favorite. As a reviewer of Hidden Object Puzzle Adventure genre I think that Sea of Lies Four delivers a "good story" and "great look" to the Puzzle genre. The Bonus Chapter about the secret of the Sea Ripper was a deciding factor on choosing CE over SE version. Also includes chapters with many unexpected twists, excellent sound effects, intriguing encouraging descant, lovable high-resolution graphic arts, and entrancing quest with rare and loads of various storyline problems, so play it and enjoy! Great for all player levels... Show less

I recommend this game!

Loved this SE! Better than the usual. Puzzles were challenging but not too. Long enough to enjoy, but not bore. Appreciated the story line - no vampires, werewolves, monsters, occult, storybook characters. Great storyline, Lots of scenes to explore. Beautiful graphics, visuals.

I recommend this game!

I finished the game completely before I rated it. It was a great game. Puzzle challenges as well as HO's. Great story line that you could follow and made since. Most of the puzzles were difficult but not too hard. The map was set up great and hint would help if you needed it. I LOVED IT.

I recommend this game!

I like the games that have a storyline that is well written and it keeps its interest throughout the game. The mini-games were fun to play and the H.O. scenes were fun as well. I liked this game, but it isn't one of my top 10 favorites. However, I think the replay factor is an 8 out of 10. It would be fun the 2nd time also, if I wait a year or more so that I forget most of the game.

I recommend this game!
