Hidden Expedition: Titanic

very nostalgic game. I played this years ago and I was really excited to find it on steam since when I played it as a kid it was at a family member's house from a disc

I have fond memories of playing [i]Hidden Expedition: Titanic[/i] on an old laptop as a kid and finally being able to revisit it over a decade later feels cathartic. Other reviews addressed a concern about it not opening to full screen, so I had been worried at first that I would have to adjust my screen resolution in order to play it or just not be able to play it at all due to the objects being too small to see, but I never had that problem... so perhaps that aspect of the Steam port was fixed? Either way, I am grateful that my experience playing it now was just as I remembered back then. This is the game that sparked a fascination with hidden object games within me, so much so that whenever I think of the genre this is the game that instantly comes to mind as the primary example. As the first game in the series, [i]Hidden Expedition: Titanic[/i] may not possess the larger than life cast of characters, grand sweeping story arcs, arsenal of brain-teasing puzzles, and fully voiced cutscenes of later installments, but it is a charming example of what a hidden object game is at its heart. The existence of a bare bones plot offers a humble explanation for the underwater Titanic theme and a reason to play as an explorer embarking on this dive - the promise of a secret treasure at the end and the reward of knowing you found it - which it gracefully follows through on. Of course, there is also a collection of Titanic facts to discover for anyone who may find themselves hungry for knowledge about the topic. The simple melody that greets the player on the opening menu sounds like a promise of adventure and the eerie repeating tune that plays during dives provides a mysterious atmosphere of wonder as well as urgency the lower the oxygen level gets. At the end of each dive, there is a bonus puzzle to solve. The player will have to either restore an old photograph by putting its pieces together in the right order or locate a collection of silhouetted items based on a fictional passenger's profile, no more no less. The final mini game before the game's conclusion takes a surprisingly different approach and is perhaps a little confusing at first, but it's easy to figure out if you pay attention. What really tripped me up as a kid was the fact that I had never seen nor heard of a lot of the antique objects on the item lists, so I wasn't sure what to look for and usually ended up clicking around aimlessly and running out of oxygen once I had found everything I recognized. Replaying the game as an adult was less stressful, probably because I have learned more since then and am also much better at guessing what an object's purpose is by its name, which makes them infinitely easier to spot in the scene. There are also plenty of occasions where it helps to know that a word could represent multiple images (for example: bat, pipe, and fork). Note that, to complete a dive, you must fully explore all 2 or 3 scenes labeled on the blueprint of the ship and the bonus puzzle at the end. There is no way to save your progress in the middle of a dive, so if you return to the menu or exit the game before completing it, the game will require you to complete all scenes of that dive again when you re-enter. But this does also mean you will get new item lists when you replay the scenes, so the replay value of the game in general is pretty solid! If you were interested in farming gems this way to increase the number displayed on your certificate when you complete the game (since there is no other purpose for them), you could choose to take advantage of that feature rather than rushing through the game. Overall, this game is great for anyone looking for a simple (and lightheartedly gimmicky) hidden object experience!

Retro memory!! Always fun to come back and play little time.

mon jeu hidden expedition titanic n'est pas en français et j'aimerais qu'il le soie je ni trouve aucun remede

One of the first ever games I played, so I was delighted when I found it again on Steam!

What distinguishes this from almost all other hidden object games is that you will actually find hidden objects in this game. You will not do inventory fetch quests. You will not slide tiles or assemble jigsaw puzzles. You will not funnel steam through pipes or inexplicably unlock a door by erroneously spelling something in Hebrew from left to right. You will not have the option of playing mahjong if you do not like hidden object objects. You will not enjoy a predictable narrative written at a middle school reading level and read by voice actors employing a Radio Shack passive cardioid mic without a pop-filter. You will find hidden objects. Hundreds of hidden objects. You will be timed. If you click like a maniac, you will be penalized. If you are slow, you will fail. This is a game. This is how it should be. There is no skip button. I've played a half-dozen modern "HOPAs." That's hidden object puzzle adventures to you and me, Russ. Let me tell you, I had far more fun with this than all of those combined. Yes it's an old game, you might have to change your resolution and aspect ratio, you might have to configure compatibility mode. I'm sorry if you are too casual for that. It would be best if Big Fish Collector'ed this Edition, but Big Fish doesn't care about you anymore. The Big Fish eat the little ones The Big Fish eat the little ones Not my problem, give me some You can try the best you can You can try the best you can The best you can is good enough

I like to play this while on vc with friends on Discord, we all look together for the listed objects and the hidden gems in each level. It's a very good time all around. There's also little puzzles or extra searches at the end of dives which sometimes have very funny stories attached, like a "cooking thriller" novel or a duck clock. The Titanic theme is very well executed as well, which is what originally drew me to this game as a kid. 10/10, would recommend, as both a single player game, and as a discord party game.

Have a lot of nostalgia for this game cause i played it with my grandpa as a kid. Has a great music score behind it, and relatively challenging hidden item/puzzles to encounter!

welp i'm gonna drown
