While the graphics were acceptable if uninspired, this game was simply too easy to be interesting for most adults. I like the brightness of the sunlit scenes, but the familiar subject matter of the Titanic should have provided a much better experience. And the game has no action of any kind, at least in the demo. It reminds me more of a board game, with enveloped letters and conversations appearing like cards from a deck to carry the action forward. The music and sound are irritatingly repetitive providing no atmosphere, and while the "mystery" may have been leading somewhere I just couldn't bring myself to even finish this boring HOS. There are far better games to spend my money on.
I don't recommend this game.

It is so nice to have a game that is not dark, gloomy and full of skulls, cobwebs and creepy crawlies. The beautifully rendered Greek Island settings are a mini vacation peopled with interactive, photographically real characters who are a bit different than their cartoonish counterparts. Teenagers will probably relate best to the cast and the situation. But not to worry, there is still plenty of mystery and murder to please those crime solvers amoung us.
The game play is lightly challenging, relaxed as the setting and comes complete with a very helpful map that transports you around the island, so navigation is a breeze. It has been a few months since I played, but I recall that it took the usual amount of time to play with few if any hints.
Altogether, if you are not looking for too much of a strain this was an enjoyable little gem that adds variety to the usual Hidden Object game list and deserves to be more popular than it is.
I recommend this game!
