I saw the above game on e-bay so I then went to you tube to find out what it was about
I started out with a young lady and young boy on a ghost ship to explore
Can anyone give me any more details of the game, how it goes from there.
if anyone has played it.

Thank You
Bluto

I remember some people here having played this game. GameBoomers has a walkthrough for it, too.

Hopefully some players will be able to provide more details.

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 yes

EDIT :

If you decide to buy it, make sure sure you are getting the fully pre-translated to English version !!!!

I remember when people here first started to play it, the game was in German and people here were using an English-language patch in order to play it. I don't know if that is still the only way to play the game in English.

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 !! lol]

Unfortunately Bluto has had issues with Steam and does not want to download from them - I can remember him saying that in the past. He avoids downloads.

I will say that if you insist on actual game discs, this may well limit the games you are able to play. And the games you do find to play may be more expensive than the downloads. And some of them will not run on newer computers without tweaking, so there is that too.

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.

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