To my surprise, I am enjoying this game. It is set under water, ordinarily enough to keep me from so much as downloading a demo; however, the thought process that went into the HOGs is admirable, and the game play is, at least so far, enough to keep me hooked. If you're a stickler for fluent, idiomatic English, Embrace of Ocean will not be to your liking. Me, I'm well past the demo and still liking the game in spite of the fact I would rather be finding greaves or pieces of an elaborate cuir bouilli breastplate instead of mostly mundane items, the kind found in the ordinary casual game office or garage with some amusing pseudo-scientific items and tasks thrown in, for example, mixing a liquid on the basis of color plus the presence or absence of bubbles and vapor. While getting Embrace of Ocean's back-story takes a few moments of reading, which some players may not appreciate, I don't mind reading in a game and would have liked more. In sum, Embrace of Ocean is one of the better offerings I have come across this year.

Edited to add: While the puzzles are way too easy for my taste, the flow is adventure like at least to the extent that a casual game without all the higher end hoopla can be.

Thanks so much for your comments - this should be helpful to players in deciding whether or not to download the demo. I'll be checking it out now. smile
