This ship has sailed (pun intended). it's a NO GO
User Rating: 2.5 | The Mystery of the Mary Celeste PC
This hidden puzzle game inspired me to relearn the story of the Mary Celeste, the story in the game starts out promising. It's later spoiled by re-using characters and not letting you "find" objects till it's time...it's frustrating when the HUGE wooden bucket is staring you in the face. Overall the story is good, but the logic behind the puzzles don't make much sense. A glaring weakness in the game is when your forced to repeat puzzles i.e. fix the water pump in both time lines!!
Then there is no character building expect for the main character, the only other character that's mentioned much is the captain...what happened to the others?!? Even at the end it's not clear what happened to them...
Finally despite "finding" objects there is a sense of cheapness and unfairness when they are reset in their original locations when it's time to do another puzzle that requires you to "find" other items.
