Sea of Lies: Mutiny of the Heart Collector's Edition

[b]Sea of Lies 1: Mutiny of the Heart[/b] (IHOG) [i]"This story is based on true historical events..." [/i]Snake alert for those sensitive! Options include separate sliders for Music, SFX and Voices, Full-screen, auto-widescreen and Custom Cursor. Choice of Regular, Expert or Insane mode, which can be changed at any time. [b]Story[/b]: A condemned man challenges a crowd of onlookers to find his hidden treasure, so confident that they will never find it that he even gives them a clue. The Baron wants that pirate's plunder, and he has no problem extorting you, Madame Detective, to make sure that he gets it! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1866952717 Our lovely [b]Journal[/b] gives us a nice ongoing narrative of the story, including some extra tidbits to help make it more immersive.

We have an amulet that is supposed to be a central part of the story, but I feel that it was pretty underutilized.

[h1]Barely scrapes through as a thumbs up[/h1] Seasoned hoggers will fly through this ridiculously short game. Puzzles are easy, story is so-so, animations are laughable. A couple of points to note however. While the random collectables are quite easy to find at a predictable 'one-per-screen', they do unlock some interesting info on a pirate that actually existed. Further, while hidden object scenes are pretty easy, they do have added depth due to the unusual 'scene within a scene' gimmick - where one object is actually a scene for its own set of objects to find. So there is a list of words for items to find, and some will be in different colours depending on whether the object is actually its own cluster of items to find, or whether additional work is needed to get the item you are after. Honestly though, for such a forgettable experience, where you can finish it in under 3 hours without even trying, and with such horrible animations, I really, really recommend getting it heavily discounted. Because if a big rpg can get discounted down to this price, you could potentially get a hundred hours out of one of those for the same price.
