What a fun game! To begin with, there were no problems downloading and installing. The graphics are amazing for a Standard Edition. The game really is beautiful and the colors, textures, and environments really get you into the game. The music is unobtrusive, although I usually turn the music down in any game. The game play is routine for the most part. You play hidden object scenes to move you forward in recovery of Captain Nemo's famous Nautilus. The scenes are a bit different, as that found items don't disappear. They are returned to their proper places in each scene. A few of the scenes made finding things a little challenging, but the hint system works well and is fun to use, and Captain Nemo himself even helps direct you to places you need to go and things to do when you get there, so you never really get stuck. Mini-games were innovative and not overly-difficult, but I didn't find them simple, either. The game had good length of play, as well, keeping me playing for two evenings - about 6 hours altogether.
On the less-positive side, there was, oftentimes, a lag in screen loading that averaged about 20 seconds. Some scenes came right up, but many had a bit of a wait while loading. For me, it was just the time I needed to run to the kitchen for a snack:) It's just a couple of feet to the fridge...so the lag was really short.:)
All in all - an engaging game, perhaps simpler than many advanced hidden object players might like, but, for me, with beginner-to-intermediate skills, it was lots of fun and I will definitely be playing it again.
I recommend this game!
After waking up chained to the floor of a cabin, you must discover the Secret of Agony Creek and escape before it’s too late!

I just finished playing this game for the second time, which is a pretty good review, in and of itself. I like just about everything about the game - the choice of difficulty level, the music, the graphics are wonderful, and the ambiance is just creepy enough to really enjoy , as I'm a big fan of "creepy". The story is inventive and moves along well, as does the game play. The integrated strategy guide is easy to use, too. There is a bit of "footwork", going back and forth between places, but it makes sense in the game. Hidden object scenes are bright and not overly cluttered. Animations are good, as are the voiceovers. The puzzles were imaginative and the interaction within hidden object scenes was fine, too. All in all, an engaging game that moves along well, delightfully creepy here and there, with lots to do in every chapter, which meant that the length of play was a couple of evenings for me. A great game!
I recommend this game!
