Evil Water Ep1

Fun adventure game in a pirate world with nice atmosphere, linear gameplay and not that interesting shooting.

Evil Water Ep1 :: a puzzle adventure with hints of darkness :: an blend of easy, casual puzzles and bright graphics with a foreboding atmosphere and jump scares. Good for light horror fans. 6/10
