April 14, 1912 marked the demise of the RMS Titanic. Smashing into an iceberg, nature inflicted a mortal wound and sucked the luxury steamship into the silent, watery abyss of the Atlantic ocean. What secrets that went down with the ship were untold and hidden from the world except for the knowledge of its bountiful treasures and priceless antiques. Somewhere in the hidden crevices of the ship is the lost crown jewels; the ultimate treasure hunter's dream. Your job as the head of the scavenger crew is to take on 14 dive missions and scour the 17 locations for clues, jewels and artifacts that will enable you to find the crown jewels. Get ready to lose yourself in this adventure of 'seek and find' within the greatest ship that ever sailed.
Gameplay Summary
There is something about an aquatic environment that has the capacity to lull anyone into a hypnotic state. Maybe it's the effervescent sound of bubbles, the ping of distant echoes or the soft flowing movement of aquatic life. Whatever it is, this game has it in spades and should seriously be shipped with a warning. The images are so sumptuous, the music haunting and the rhythm of the game play so provocative that you can literally spend hours immersed in the artistry even before playing.
A visual feast for your imagination, the gameplay is easy and yet challenging at the same time. Each level exists within the metaphor of the Titanic. Starting from the top deck, you are presented with a background image of the particular location in which you are asked to find a certain number of 'hidden objects'. Pick those objects correctly and you will be rewarded with the task of scavenging even more decks below. Make the wrong choice or click on the hints more than what is necessary and you will lose valuable oxygen and thus limit your ability to continue the hunt. No matter what you do, each facet of the game is detailed in such a way as to provide you with one of the most unique experiences in this genre. It is sure to satisfy your senses for hours on end.
Eye-Spy / Hidden Objects: Tips
Finding the objects can be a bit tricky. Some objects are more obvious and are located front and center of the screen while others are blended in the background in the same manner a chameleon might hide. Long items such as brooms and rulers are often matched to similar sized and shapped objects such as staircases in a room or even moldings on antique furniture. The mind plays tricks on you so look everywhere - objects can even be inside other objects!
Other items such as organic shapes can be found just about anywhere where the shapes are nebulous. The point is, almost every item in the background image could house a potential hidden object. Surprises abound in all things and all places!
