Epic Adventures: Cursed Onboard

If all you appreciate is dumbed-down simplistic hidden object adventures, then you will probably not like this game. I didn't find anything unfair or frustrating, it just requires you to really take in the hidden object scenes, not expecting everything to be front and center and obvious, which I liked. Figuring out oddly named objects was entertaining, although some would disagree. I hope they make more of these games.

Here's a Totally Objective Review of the Game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vtm8FXFhwpQ (10/10)

I really enjoyed this tight HOG with a truly immersive storyline. Scenes are well lit and objects cleverly hidden although some objects are a bit small… it was fun but I did have to use the hint button more than usual. The other puzzles and mini games were nice and challenging but they didn't come with instructions, which would have been easier. The voices were very good, the graphics were good and there was a good storyline. Overall, I thought it was pretty good and worth 2.99…

Un gioco lento, noioso, per nulla accattivante. Tutto nel gioco appare datato, eppure leggo che è uscito nel 2019. Una simile mancanza di dettagli avrebbe già scandalizzato una ventina di anni fa, ma ora.... La grafica è piuttosto approssimativa (sembra arrivare da un gioco degli anni 90) Manca totalmente il diario di gioco, caratteristica tipica del genere. La trama è piatta e noiosa e manca una mappa o gli aiuti durante il gioco (si hanno solo nelle schermate degli oggetti nascosti). E a proposito di oggetti nascosti.... sono davvero TROPPO nascosti. Molte volte si confondono con fondale o si trovano dietro ad altri oggetti, coperti quasi per intero, rendendo l'esperienza noiosa e frustrante. Non vi parlo poi della sequenza finale per non rovinarvi la sorpresa nell'improbabile caso in cui voleste provare questo gioco. Vi basti sapere che è qualcosa di così deludente da lasciare la mascella spalancata. Non mi riferisco tanto al modo in cui finisce la storia, ma come questa viene (non) gestita dal gioco. In definitiva un titolo a dir poco approssimativo che avrebbe fatto storcere il naso già venti anni fa, figuriamoci nel 2019.

This is an old game I played years ago on Ipad, I am so happy to have found this on steam, it's an old but classic hidden object game that's a loot different compared to other hidden object oldies! Give it a try, it's a good one!! Likes: [list] [*]There aren't many hidden objects games that use CG rather than drawn artwork and usually it fail because at the end of the day there isn't any movement just a still frame so what was the point - this however actually is animated and not too badly given the time it was made. [*]Story - this game is actually a sequel however with how it's played out the game can be easily treated as a stand alone especially since you are a detective. Not knowing the events of the previous game makes the case more interesting. [*]Sound effects - I love the creaking of the floor boards and the sound of the water but what I love especially are the voices of the ghosts in the backgrounds, it adds that spooky affect which is great. This game isn't scary and doesn't try to be but it certainly give off a vibe. [*]The Puzzles - besides the hidden object scenes the games also have added minigame puzzles that are quite fun to solve. [/list] Dislikes: [list] [*]Backtracking - it's the one thing I hate about these type of games, heading to an area only to go back to it maybe two or three times. It's not heavily reliant but it's there [*]No save points - unfortunately there isn't any chapter select or save points so you can return to that point of the game. It only save your progress all the way till you finish the game. Going back in on a previous save take you to where you stopped or the 'congrats on completing the game' screen [/list]
