I enjoyed this game's artwork so much. The story isn't bad as you play a detective who received a message from a Ward who reported a serial killing in Pawtuxet Island. You'll sail there and immediately encounter one of the victims only to realize he is against a phantom, an ancestor of the ward who seeks immortality by capturing his victim's souls.

The voice acting is not bad, though only the cutscenes are voiced. The gameplay is just like any hidden objects game; you search for clues and collect useful items from hidden objects scenes. The good thing about the scenes is that they are not recycled; when you revisit them, the items you picked before are not there. The puzzles were easy, and some of them were unique.

I loved the journal; it is helpful as you can get four hints on solving the next objective. It is not like the regular hint button, but written hints will make you think of where you should go and what to pick. I also liked the journal pages you picked up; they give you more insight into the story and are voiced.

Pros:
+Beautiful visuals and location design.
+Good soundtracks.
+Good hidden objects scenes.
+Variety of puzzles.
+In-game strategy guide

Cons
-No map.
-Lots of backtracking.
-No Steam achievements.

The bonus chapter was okay; it gives a happy ending to the main game, and you play in different areas but on the same island. This game is refreshing for HOG lovers and on the short side.
