Captain Morgane and the Golden Turtle

Okay, what have we here. Graphic adventure, pirates, Reggae like music. Isn´t that Mon... No it isn´t Captain morgane is a Spinoff of the adventure "So Blonde" (not available on Steam unfortunately but worth finding an old copy) which gives the Side character from the Original her own Game. It´s developed by many of the former Cocktel Vision staff. The people who made the Gobliins Series, Lost in Time etc. The game is a little more slow paced than Lucas Arts Pirate saga but also has a certain charme. In any case You get quite some hours of entertainment here and let´s be honest. With 5 Euro you can´t go wrong here. This version of the Game is dubbed in English, French and German

Spent 20 minutes trying to get through the first puzzle. The interface is not intuitive and the characters and gameplay are agonizingly slow.

A perfectly acceptable adventure. Story wise is a nice pirate tale. Some serious frame rate drops. And this rig is WAY more powerful. So for me they where navigatable. But I would think that someone with a less powerful computer might find them making the game unplayble. But end of the day? I enjoyed myself. And thats all that matters.

Warning: Don't enter your childhood house in Chapter 4; wait for the story to send you back there in Chapter 5. Otherwise, a severe bug won't let you out and, combined with the design bug called the Single Save Slot, you might lose all your progress. I was spared by another design bug, actually, because 1 of the 2 Quit menus forgets to save on exit; I only lost 20 minutes, instead of 6 hours. Anyway, if you ever end up there, do not save, and Alt+F4 immediately for safety. Despite that, I'm still going to raise the thumb, because I had a consistent good time with the story, the gameplay, the puzzles... The latter are on the easy side of things, flow with the story, and avoid any Moon logic shenanigans. Interface is rather weak (single slot saves, inefficient drag n'drop inventory for pocket phones, no fast walk, no instant transitions,) yet comes with decent essentials (hot spots key, fast travel map, even a journal...) Note the inclusion of several silly arcade mini-games. (Not hard, just out of place in the genre.) However, the sensible inclusion of a Cheat key lets you skip any one, any time, letting both kids, adults, and arthritics enjoy what they want (without losing the p…

Good enough point-and-click adventure. Animations are a little slow, but otherwise no technical problems.

I played this for as long as I could stand. I imagine this game is tolerable if you don't mind the "manga" influence that features throughout the game to a lesser or greater degree. Unfortunately, I abhor manga! The music sounds like it came from an 80s porno, and there were times when I felt this probably started life as an "adult" game and they've just cut all the naughty bits out. There's a bit too much slightly disturbing innuendo at times. Anyway, this won't see the light of my day again. I'm off to find the uncut version...
