I'm a fan of the Titanic, and a HO fan, so this game really worked for me.
The game is very light adventure with quite a lot of hidden object play, framed around the investigation of a murder on the Titanic. The art is very high quality, and fit the opulence of the ship perfectly.

I'm a fan of the Titanic, and a HO fan, so this game really worked for me.
The game is very light adventure with quite a lot of hidden object play, framed around the investigation of a murder on the Titanic. The art is very high quality, and fit the opulence of the ship perfectly.
While there is a fair amount to do around the hidden object scenes, they are the real focus of the game. The scenes and objects are very well done, and even the occasional small object was clear enough for me to identify it. The hint allows you to select the object you want pointed out, which I greatly prefer to a random choice. There is no timer or click penalty, so I just relaxed and enjoyed exploring each scene. I particularly liked the fact that the objects mostly fit the scene and theme of a location, so it isn't just a jumble of random objects. I haven't repeated any scenes yet, and There have been some interesting twists on the standard list (I liked having to organize the tools...I may be a bit OCD)
There is a lot of dialogue in the game, as the mystery unfolds. I enjoyed reading through it, but it can be clicked through if you just want to get back into the action. The journal stores critical details on the story, so you won't end up lost.
The puzzles were pretty straightforward, and most were at least familiar. I didn't encounter any I needed to skip, and all of them were worked into the story so they didn't seem random or arbitrary.
I also quite liked the music...it fit the setting well, and had a good ominous mood to it.
If you want a good, old school hidden object game with a very cool setting/story, then I think this is the one for you. Show less

I recommend this game!

This game was a lot of fun. I enjoy a story along with my gameplay, one that's not contrived or convuluted as some have been lately. This story held my interest a lot and the hidden object scenes and puzzles were nicely done.

This game was a lot of fun. I enjoy a story along with my gameplay, one that's not contrived or convuluted as some have been lately. This story held my interest a lot and the hidden object scenes and puzzles were nicely done. There was an interesting mix of historical and fictional characters and when the final conspiracy was revealed, I was quite surprised! The artwork is quite breath-taking, and I am currently enjoying the downloadable main menu screen as my desktop background.

If you enjoy all things Titanic like me, then this is one you'll want to try. It has a lot more interesting story than the recent Hidden Mysteries: Titanic (although I enjoyed playing that one, too#, fascinating character interactions, and fairly challenging gameplay #but not so much that you're clicking the HINT button at every opportunity). Enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

I am disappointed by some reviews for this game as I thoroughly enjoyed it. The mystery plot is loosely based on some facts of White Star Line at the time and its revelation (here) is audacious and a bit shocking. You are included in this tale and after the ship strikes its iceberg, the 1912 alarm keeps sounding as the need to get yourself into a lifeboat increases. WoW! (I hope I have not ...Show more

I am disappointed by some reviews for this game as I thoroughly enjoyed it. The mystery plot is loosely based on some facts of White Star Line at the time and its revelation (here) is audacious and a bit shocking. You are included in this tale and after the ship strikes its iceberg, the 1912 alarm keeps sounding as the need to get yourself into a lifeboat increases. WoW! (I hope I have not revealed too much but I suspect anyone reading this knows about that iceberg, no?)
Anyway, the artwork is excellent, the Palm Court restaurant (and many other venues) give you an idea of how lovely the decor must have been. Sound effects and music are fine; the puzzles are good (and many can be skipped). It's not a complex game and you're always shown which part of the ship to progress to next---so that you don't wander about aimlessly. My one complaint is that there is/was no guide or walkthrough as I really wanted to see the storyline through: but as luck would have it, the only time I was stumped was the five nautical symbols that needed to be placed in a row and I DID find help for this by typing the game name in google. I was so grateful to be able to continue and everything else in the game worked well for me.
Note: Although this is possibly a 4-star game, I'm giving it five just to raise the overall ratings which I think is "fairer" for it. Show less

I recommend this game!

This game has a fascinating storyline with some great surprises. The music is great and the graphics are clear and attractive. As a bonus, all settings can be downloaded for wallpaper. There are lots and lots of HO scenes, some containing quaint, old-fashioned items. This is a very enjoyable, long-lasting game – worth buying.

I recommend this game!

I like the detailed authentic scenes of the titanic in this relaxing hidden object game. There are some basic puzzles to be solved in some scenes. It is a little short but graphics are nice and I like the way you become involved in the story as the inspector's assistant.

I recommend this game!

I have a stressful job so I like games that interest me but don't make me think too much. This one was really super enjoyable. Lots of puzzles and straight hidden object scenes. Money well spent.

I recommend this game!
