Two disappointments in a row – Sea of Lies: Tide of Treachery - A Hidden Object Mystery Review

After playing the mediocre Whispered Secrets: Beyond, I was really looking forward to a new game by EIPIX so I could get back in the groove. :D As with Beyond, however, I find it hard to believe that this game truly is new. There is a significant step back in terms of the configurability of difficulty; the availability and quality of the map and journal, if any; the complexity of the HOPs; and the overall quality of the game. The graphics and cut scenes seem dated as well. I certainly did not see any aspect that struck me as innovative or novel. This was also one of the shortest trial periods that I can ever remember before I was asked to buy a game. I was only able to visit four scenes and complete three or four short puzzles. This was hardly enough to convince me to pay the $6.99 requested in order to continue. I cannot recommend purchasing this game based on my experience. I am rating it three stars because it does not appear to be glitchy, just antiquated.
