I quite enjoyed this little SE adventure was totally worth the free coupon but I would have paid for it had I not had the coupon. I like anything pirate, mythology and although the keepers were dolls and adorable...they weren't 'playthings' as such. The HOS's were great, not hard, not really easy, puzzles and knowing what to do next was challenging even on the easy mode...so glad I didn't chose harder. Okay for Beginners as long as it is on Regular mode. But would be really challenging for Hard or Expert. Bonus that the chapters were quite long, at least for me they were, took me several hours to complete. Of course not having a map to transport will add time to any game and there is some back and forth game play but not enough to annoy me. All in all a great SE game and I highly recommend it!

I recommend this game!

There is no VO's, but if you miss something that was said in conversation in the cutscenes it's written in the journal. The story is really decent. No looking for a lost family member here.

As you probably might know this game is from Big Ala. I am truly enjoying this game. It rocks! There is no VO's, but if you miss something that was said in conversation in the cutscenes it's written in the journal. The story is really decent. No looking for a lost family member here. You have four different magics that will be at your disposal. Early on in your journey you meet and Ice Spirit (who looks like the little doll we had in their other game), but he says they made me look this way. The Ice spirit just lends you his magic, he is not with you persay. There is no map, but the hint button is awesome. It tells you where you need to go exactly. I know on the screen shots you do see a little pirate doll on the hint button, but I don't know what he is yet cause I haven't gotten that far. You do a lot of exploring. To me it seems more so that playing H0GS or mini games. I love it.

Story: You play as a pirate captain named Elizabeth and you're called upon by your good friend Ethan to help him look for his son Adam. In a letter Adam wrote to his father that he doesn't want his father to come looking for him because of some evil black smoke. Somehow Ethan thinks his son is responsible for causing this smoke but as you go on with the story you found this isn't the case. While you're exploring the ship you come across the black smoke and it's scary and destructive. It wiped out the whole crew in a matter of minutes. You come across a little Ice Spirit who is willing to help you as long as you help him to find the Knowledge Keeper which is another 'doll'. So between the two of you set out on a pretty decent adventure to set things right with the world once again.

Mini games: The two I came across so far was match the symbols and put a snake back together. The mini games look like my type, nice and fun for once. Not this 100 steps to get a puzzle together where you most likely use the strat guide for help.

Music: This team has one of the best musics no matter what their game is. They know how to get the perfect music to match the game.

Graphics: Beautifully done. Crisp and clear. Great job on this.

Hint System: Awesome. Tells exactly where or what needs to be done. You don't need a guide for this game.

H0GS: So far I only ran into list words with red words as an extra step. I have only ran into 3 H0GS in a hour and a half play time. Also you can click on the list and the list drops down in case you need to see below it. I like that feature.

All in all kudos to the team for an awesome game. I am truly enjoying it and looking forwar to see what happens. I highly recommend this game! Show less

It was a game of a difference, and I think children as well as adults will like it, the graphics are not to bad, and I loved the story line.
You have dolls, one is fire, and another is time, and you have power, and also ice, and you use these dolls in different situations, to sort out different problems.

I really had great fun playing this SE and it's a long game. I played longer than four hours and enjoyed every moment, at least 6 chapters. (You) take the role of Elizabeth, a strong and confident hero, as she explores visually striking environments in her efforts to learn the truth. Search for clues in a ruined island town, use your wits to overcome terrifying creatures, and avoid the smoke monster that threatens to end your journey. To advance, you'll need to find four dolls and use each one's unique power. You'll need the power of ICE, FIRE, ELECTICITY, and TELEKINESIS in order to combat a multitude of obstacles, challenges, and monsters to progress forward in this very unique HOPA. What begins as a strange little Pirate story soon becomes something all together OUT OF THIS WORLD. Just as the demo ends and you begin chapter 2 you won't want to break away for a moment. Yes the graphics could have been more detailed and they could have included voice acting. Once you are engaged in the story though, you are more drawn to the action and the story and even the written dialogue becomes minimal. Gamers from beginner to expert can have a blast with this one and feel child-like while playing. This isn't a kids adventure and I highly recommend. Show less

I recommend this game!

I didn't mind having no voice overs, wasn't aware there was a map until I read another review. The hint worked very well if and when I got stuck (and I did!).
Love this long SE gem that others have told the story of.
I am more than happy to support developers other than the ones who usually dominate this site.

This is based on the demo. There are three modes of play: easy, hard and extreme. No voices, only text. Not a lot of HOS scenes (at least in the demo), and they were clear and not too dark. The story is about a woman who has her own ship and has been asked to help out with strange things happening in the town.

Not a great game, but I enjoyed playing it.

Elizabeth Robinson is the Captain of the Sea Star, a young buccaneer born and raised on the ship, it's all she's ever known. The Sea Star was designed and engineered by Ethan Brown, a close friend of Elizabeth's father, who has asked for her help finding his son Adam. Adam managed to escape a calamity, when a strange fog rolled onto the island and killed everyone, instantly. The Sea Star was nearly to the port when the fog engulfed her, killing her entire crew, with the exception of Elizabeth of course.

Up to this point, I said to myself, "self" this ain't a bad pirate story. Then the plot took on a strange twist, when the World Keepers came into play, which sounds awesome in theory, but they are nothing more than burlap ragdolls, one of which seems very angry, the other has been dressed in a pirate outfit by Adam who thought he'd look more like a doll if he were dressed like one. Supposedly, they are Spirits that are trapped in a rag shell, the first doll is the Ice Spirit that can freeze those whom evil has possessed, the next doll is the Knowledge Keeper who's really just a glorified Hint Icon. There are other spirit dolls to rescue after the demo that use fire, lightning and time to help you fight the evil smoke, but the demo itself only offers 2 dolls. I really wouldn't mind the makeshift dolls if this were a fantasy type game, but it's so out of place and unnecessary in a swashbuckling pirate genre, it made the game kinda cheesy.

The Hidden Object Scenes are all the same, Interactive List Finds, and most of the scenes have at least one repeated HOP which I really hate because even though the items to find are different, you know where everything is because you just scoured the scene a few moments prior.

The Mini Games however are fairly decent, they aren't difficult, but they are different, and most have a pirate or nautical theme. Below are brief descriptions of some of the Mini Games you'll encounter during the demo:

1) Choose three icons with the same theme as shown in the center by clicking the arrows, when you find the correct icon, click to choose (it will turn red at that point, I'm giving more detail on this game because I thought the directions were too vague)

2) Press buttons in the correct order by trial and error.

3) Connect the snake parts correctly to fill the bowl.

4) Turn roller sections to the correct sequence as you found earlier in a clue.

The graphics in this game are hand drawn, not bad, but it lacks the crisp details of computer generated graphics, there are no voiceovers, so you'll have to read the dialog boxes (which btw have several typos!) The music was okay, but does get a bit repetitive. As I stated before, the storyline had promise, after all, everybody loves a good pirate story, but I felt a little let down when the ragdolls came into play. I probably would have purchased this bargain HOPA, or at least used a credit, but for now, I'll sit on the fence until I feel that I simply must find out what happened to Adam and the other ragdolls.
