The game's story, centered around the Titanic, is generally well-received, with many players appreciating its emotional depth and connection to historical events. However, some users noted pacing issues, particularly a significant time skip that detracts from the narrative flow. Overall, it is considered a solid choice for fans of story-driven point-and-click games.
“If you like story games and point-and-click, this one is for you.”
“The music and the story are great!”
“It's a great game with a good storyline.”
“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, and I would buy it on sale.”
