From the first seconds of the opening cutscene, it’s clear Written Legends: Nightmare at Sea is something special. Rarely do you see such expert cinematics in a casual game and in fact, the water and visual effects are nothing short of stunning. Outside the cutscenes, the main game is also something to behold, featuring scene after exemplary scene filled with beautiful art and great pirate flavor. As the game progresses, you meet other trapped souls—colorful characters like a lady pilot, a Russian mechanic, a depressed ship captain and a woman resembling Tia Dalma, the voodoo priestess from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. As slaves of Davy Jones, they have a vested interest in helping you defeat him and throughout the game, provide you with interesting dialog, tasks and helpful items.
The game’s hidden object scenes and puzzles are very well handled, of mostly reasonable difficulty and a bursting with nautical nuances. There’s never a time you’ll find yourself stumped since the handy map not only shows you exactly where you are but where the next objective lies. Most importantly, Written Legends: Nightmare at Sea boasts an unusual concept, or at least, an unusual setting. The underwater scenarios freshen the usual “haunted location controlled by an insane villain”idea and it’s fun to be doing something other than trying to solve a mystery (here you’re working to complete Davy Jones’ tasks and trying to save other lost souls.)
