Nightmares from the Deep 2: The Siren's Call

Thank you to SalzStange of Original Curator's Group who gifted a copy of the game to me. “There remained the sea, which is free to all, and particularly alluring to those who feel themselves at war with humanity.” ― Rafael Sabatini Nightmares from the Deep: The Siren's Call is a loosely based sequel to the first game The Cursed Heart. Just as in the first game, the pirate aspect is only vaguely explored. Where the first game was more concerned with the "appearance" of pirates, the second game does focus a little bit more on motivations towards piracy but with little reflection to the economic and political situation in which privateering arose. Again the emphasis lies more on the supernatural, & whilst it does make for an amusing visual gimmick, it leaves little for the story to latch on to, which prevaricates between whether it wants to be a romance or a supernatural thriller.

Okay, how the hell did this slip past my radar. For everyone wondering what happened to the old point-and-click adventure games, here's your answer. This has so far given me very strong vibes of Shadows Over Innsmouth, which makes me love the game even more. Some of the puzzles aren't overly difficult, but then again, for a genre where you have to knock the moustache off the Washington monument with a /broom/, not the /bamboo stick/, because that's for the giant panda three levels from now... Still, don't let the 'hidden object game' fool you; this is little like the old I Spy games from yesteryear. This is a proper point-and-click adventure game geared towards a more grown up audience, with intriguing plot, interesting puzzles, and a couple nice bonus achievements for the eagle-eyed completionists out there. Hell, it opens with a kraken crushing a ship as a sailor watches in terror.

Here, we have the second instalment of Nightmares from the Deep series: The Siren's Call. Artifex Mundi keeps upping the game and brings another succeeding HOG in. Compared to the first game, The Siren's Call carries a faster pace in story with just as good puzzles and HOG scenes. In this game, we'll have less undead, more... fishmen? The museum curator Sarah Black's adventures in the Caribbean continues. After her remarkable encounter with Captain Remington, Sarah is safely back and prepares for a new exhibition while trying to promote a "fiction" novel about her last encounter with Captain Remington. It is the middle of the night when a strange courier visits the museum to deliver a package. With the content of the package revealed, Sarah suddenly becomes a target again and a central figure in an old curse that slowly transforms the inhabitants of Kingsmouth to fishmen. You are to bec

I never expected to enjoy this game after playing the first one. It was a pleasant surprise. Nightmares from the Deep: The Siren`s Call is a sequel to the previous story. A year has passed since the past events, Sarah, a curator at the Caribbean Naval Museum, receives a package from a mysterious messenger at a late hour, turned out it is a sealed box and it can only be opened by the artifact she possesses. Inside the box, there is another artifact that brought a disaster and soon it was stolen. She and her new partner gave her a brief story of the curse that was cast on his town people of Kingsmouth, turning them into 'fish people' he too reveals his scaly skin and his intentions of saving his lover, the siren who has the key to end this curse. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2851946363 I enjoyed the story a lot, the pace is nice although a bit cliché but still a

A great follow-up to the first Nightmares from the Deep game. You play as the same museum curator from the first game, but this time you are taken to a cursed island to continue your quest. The story is simply great, tying in both to the previous games' Davy Jones myth as well as legends of sirens and will keep you wanting to play to the end. The world is beautifully decorated so you will actually want to inspect each scene even if it isn't a hidden object puzzle and the voice acting and music are a huge step up. Hidden Object puzzles are somewhat difficult but never needlessly so, and if you do get stuck there is the hint button. You can also skip the HO puzzles and play a mahjong puzzle instead. The bonus adventure unlocked after completing the game is less well fleshed out, with too few locations and a lot of back tracking between them, but I still recommend playing it since it le

Very fun game if you like this Genre, lots of unique puzzles that make you think while not being overly difficult. Has a pretty descent story and beautiful graphics, very vibrant and pretty colors.
