Sea of Lies: Nemesis HD - A Hidden Object Detective Adventure Reviews

Terrific

If you liked the others in this series you will like this one too. The story line is a bit juvenile, but the puzzle aspects and collectibles make up for the fairy tale back drop.

Sea of Lies: Nemesis - refreshingly different

Helen S in Chula Vista

I really enjoyed this one- story is interesting, good mystery with no supernatural mumbo-jumbo unless you count the voodoo lady, and another character in the bonus chapter. Loved the historical setting- Spanish Colonial period in the Caribbean, I'm guessing. Enjoyed the HO puzzles, which are presented in a refreshingly different way, but they also give you the option to play a match-3 game instead if you absolutely hate HO puzzles. Even enjoyed the background music. Sorry to see The culprit end up in jail, though...found myself rooting for him ?

HOG glitch at the dock!

Izzyoc

Game was playing fine until I got to the dock ... (BTW, check out Alawar The Other Side for only $1.99, plus Five-BN's The Lost Lands: The Four Horsemen for $4.99!) The good: nice voice-overs, interesting HOG types (especially the highly interactive ones which are my favorite), clean Eipix graphics, collectible treasure chests (mostly easy to see but some require an additional step, like pushing away some greenery). The bad: stupid "rate me" pop-up ad, external strategy guide but at least it doesn't re-start the game when you exit the guide. Was a little sad not to find any morphing objects in the HOGs - with Eipix: Hidden Expeditions, I had gotten used to looking for those suckers in the HOGs. The ugly: crappy glitch when playing the HOG on the cart at the dock; I finished grinding the red pepper needed for the potion to reveal the lettering, and the HOG kicked me out at that point. Without the red pepper. It keeps telling me that there is something I still need to get from the HOG, but clicking on the HOG only boots me out of it and back onto the dock. BIG FISH/EIPIX - PLEASE FIX OR REFUND!

Please fix your bugs!

I had the same problem as the reviewer: "Markeeterwife". Got the red pepper ground and made it the right weight but it didn't put it in my inventory. The HOS still sparkles but when I select it, I can't go back into it to get the pepper.

Pretty good

The plot and setting was original and I'm happy there wasn't much in the way of the typical demonic stuff (the voodoo lady wasn't a big part of the story). Unfortunately, Eipix frequently relies on their old typical stand-by--many crazy containers with bizarre locks that require specific shapes to open them. Find shape, insert, repeat. This can get tiresome. Luckily, this game had other interesting factors that propelled the story and made me want to finish it. Also, the voice over narration was helpful in explaining what seemed to be a bit of a complex plot, which tends to happen when there are multiple characters...also, if you put down the game and go back to it later, it's easy to forget what's going on. Even though I much prefer the Awakening and Drawn approach, (where the player builds things and mixes stuff and creates new items in fun ways), this was entertaining nonetheless. Thanks for the good game!

I just want to welcome KimMeadow to the Dream Team Elite! She is an outstanding reviewer, one of the most thorough that I have ever seen and we LOVE her! So everyone please extend your warmest wishes to this lovely person. Also, thank you for looking out for RATS, which is my number one FEAR ( my only fear!) Snooper is petrified of snakes! We look out for each other, don't we, Dracyy? Thanx for updating me on the NO RATS situation! Anyway, this was a fantastic game, but it's EIPIX, so it's expected. The graphics were good, the cut-scenes decent, and loading was instantaneous between locations. The story was easy to follow and the gameplay was smooth. There was no journal, but objectives were updated regularly. You had a teleport map with marked tasks and objectives. Inventory was labeled, and there were plus items, always a favorite of mine. You got to use a fingerprint kit to unearth hidden clues. The HO scenes were varied, from lists to silhouettes to using one object to unlock another, etc. If you didn't want to play the HOS, you could play match-3 instead. There were puzzles embedded in the scenes too. I enjoyed the mini-games and puzzles; there was a nice variety. The only collectibles were treasure chests, which you earn coins for each one and get to decorate a room. There was a lot to do in this game, from concocting potions to assembling objects, to escaping from places. There were lots of extras, such as wallpapers, souvenir room, treasure chest hunt, which unlocked a bank vault, where you have a surprise to look forward to. The only reason I deducted a star was that I wish it had been longer, even with bonus adventure. Also the tap sensitivity was a bit off. But it really was not a glitchy game by any means! EIPIX knows what we like and they very rarely disappoint! This game was definitely worth playing! I send ?❤️?? to the Dream Team Elite and all the other gamers out there who love us!

Stay away

Don't buy this game until all the problems have been solved. I tried three different times to play through and each time the game stopped working correctly at three different places. Too many bugs for release.

Roman numeral safe lock, bad grammar & other glitches!!! ?

MissLCinSF

The Roman numeral safe lock glitches at the very end....I know how to open locks and followed the arrows....but when I get to the last single digit number l, it pulls over to X and resets the whole thing!!!! I've tried five times, even holding it in the right place.....but I had to skip it. I HATE that. ? Also, the game lags in areas, often taking three or more tries to fit in the item, even though it keeps saying it doesn't work there- when it does. I still hope this game holds more promise so I'll reserve my final review until I've played through - but please fix these glitches! Super annoying!! Ps- On Francisco's note, "There is no such thing as ghosts" should read: "There are no such things as ghosts" or "There is no such thing as a ghost". Just saying. I'll let it slide assuming it's due to ESL. ????

Fun game a bit of a glitch

llessat

This was a very fun and strong game with nice puzzles and plot. Also, it was cheap. But two problems. One, in many instances if you didn't drag the item to the exact spot it didn't recognize the piece. Meaning often you were sure a piece was correct, but since it wouldn't work you wasted much time. Second it seems like a lot of missing steps that you don't have to complete and you can't go back too finish things once you complete certain sections.

I want to play the bonus game!

I enjoyed this game, but I keep watching the credits and it keeps telling me that the bonus game cannot be unlocked until I finish the game. Frustrating glitch!
