The game's story is praised for its fidelity to the Titanic narrative, providing an engaging experience for fans of story-driven games. However, some players noted pacing issues, particularly a sudden skip in the timeline that detracts from the overall narrative flow. Despite these critiques, the combination of music and storytelling has resonated well with many players, making it a memorable title in the hidden object genre.
“It's a great game with a good story line.”
“This one I've replayed many times over the years as it was one of my first hidden object games with a story.”
“If you like story games and point-and-click, this one is for you.”
“The story seems to be missing a part; we start on the first day of the voyage and suddenly skip through three whole days, right to the time of the sinking.”
“Upon finishing this point-and-click style hidden object game, in which you play as a young woman except for the bonus level, you learn why it would have had to be remembered as a sad story one way or another.”
“Not a bad game; it's older, I like the story, but I would buy it on sale.”
