I'll admit that this game was part of a 15 game pack I had bought years ago. I didn't play Neptune's Secret until recently, as I realized it was the last game of the pack I hadn't played yet. While playing the game, I realized multiple flaws - all in the gameplay, storyline, and setting locations. I vocalized most of it in the videos I did on my youtube channel. (Which I will not reveal the name, as I am not publicizing it at all in this review. I say this not to cover my booty, but to be respectful to Big Fish's rights.)
So the story is that Hannah is an orphaned archaeologist, right? Right off the bat, we learn Callisto did something with an amulet and Hannah arrived at a nunnery as a baby with the amulet. We learn very little about Neptune and we learn very little about Wyatt the treasure hunter. Then Hannah receives a map of Atlantis from the Abbott.
The rest of the game is us exploring Atlantis underwater. Everything is shades of blue! You could say there was 50 shades of them. Haha. It is difficult to find ANYTHING! Even with the gems from the amulet as hints. And the hit boxes for the items are so tiny. It took me so many videos to realize that there are hardly any walkthroughs to help me out. I had to do screenshots and zoom in on the photos to find them all. (Big tip on that, btw. It totally works!) I do like that each location had three different stages. Not many HOGs I play do that. A bit tedious, but fun.
Now I'm returning to the storyline. The ending I won't reveal, but it definitely took me for a surprise. I didn't expect it. Merely because there was no character development at all, no background story on Hannah or Wyatt, or even Callisto and Neptune. There are so many plotholes. It definitely gives off that there's supposed to be a sequel, but I'm not finding one. A shame 21 Rocks LLC has no website. I have no idea if they no longer exist or not.
In any case, I don't think this is the best game for any beginner or pro gamer. For beginners, the coloring and having to squint your eyes just to find everything. For pro gamers, the coloring and game mechanics. If you're playing Neptune's Secret, good luck. As Rabbit's Fun World would say, may hope always follow you.

I don't recommend this game.
