Utterly unique and captivating

What more can be said than that this must've been the most satysfying 12 hours I've spent in a game? I was originally drawn in by the artstyle, I mean look at it - it's utterly unique, but this game is more than simply pretty graphics - it's a thrilling experience. The gameplay might literally only be WASD, MOUSE1 and MOUSE2 but Mr Pope has here created a game that's such a refined experience that there isn't a need for anything else, heck, you could probably figure it out without ever touching MOUSE2. Wait...figure it out? Yep! This a detective/puzzle game, a detective/puzzle game where-in you're a insurance inspector (sounds absolutely thrilling...right?) armed with a magical pocketwatch that gives you the same ability to see the past as various drugged-up Sherlock Holmses of yesteryear, with which you're let loose on the tens of corpses scattered across the various decks of the ship and have to make sense of how they ended up there. You'll have to combine your watch-induced visions of the past and the clues scattered about the ship with a passenger-list and an illustration to clue out the 60 fates that once made up the crew and passengers.
