Yes, if you're a big fan of puzzle games and want something that'll give you a bit of a challenge. Both chapter 3 and chapter 5 had this issue in very small places.ĭespite not liking the writing too much, it is definitely a great story with a decent plot that's related in part to "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" by Lovecraft himself. However a lot of the areas in the game expect you to explore everything first before engaging with a puzzle directly whether it be a cursory glance or actively trying to solve it as you explore the area.

Some puzzles and areas felt quite tedious at times, though I could blame this on me finishing this game off after being quite sleep deprived.

Lovecraft's stories are always lauded as being horror or at least unnerving, so it's nice when a piece of Lovecraftian style of work comes about and the gods aren't really the focus, it's the people that are more interesting. However the focus of a Lovecraftian styled game being about romance as well as a longing for a place to be was interesting. Playing as a woman searching for her lost husband is always interesting, I didn't much like their use of the pet name "old pal" for each other. Your character takes meticulous notes, that can help you solve puzzles and the log that gives some extra flavour to the events. I review games with all games starting at 5/10 (Average) and then deduct/add for negatives and positives:Ĭall of the Sea is a beautiful puzzle adventure game, with honestly quite challenging puzzles, but giving you great means to solve them yourself.
