I played this game and really enjoyed it. A mystery to solve in traditional "Adventure Game" fashion but definitely not the easiest !! You have to gain access to different areas of the ship and unravel a compelling story EDIT : If you decide to buy it, make sure sure you are getting the fully pre-translated to English version !!!!

I did a review here at GB that gives more detail. What sticks in my mind from when I played it was the navigation throughout was more fiddly than it could have been.

I originally bought the game from Germany - in German - and played it with the aid of an English translation patch that was made available. But later I bought a full English DRM Free version of it as a download from Fireflower Games. I don't know if Fireflower still stock it but it might be worth an enquiry ?? [I just re-read flotsam's review and have the feeling I enjoyed the game rather more than he did !! ]

Hi Bluto I tend to download mine from Steam or GOG these days. I don't think I have it boxed so that would have been where I got it. And Black Sails was a tv series for a few seaons several years back, so that is probably what your son remembers. Steve

And I double checked and it's only available at Steam, but not GOG.
