These people are slobs and I'm tired of picking up after them.

I downloaded this a long time before I played it so I'd forgotten it was only categorized as a HOG. I wasn't expecting to be hit with scene after scene of HOs.
My first impression: These people are slobs and I'm tired of picking up after them. The first few scenes are the same old stuff, like every time they go anywhere they dump their stuff on every surface.
On the actual ship (when you finally get there) the objects are difficult to recognize for what they are or are not appropriate for the time period. Many were fuzzy or only had partial opacity. Once it asked me to find a green flower, which was actually a cactus!
I love Titanic-related things. I have 2 Titanic games already from BFG. But this one got uninstalled before I finished the trial. For a game that is, I assume by the title, 3 years old, it wasn't even up to par then, let alone now.
If you like Titanic, try out the Hidden Mysteries Titanic games.
I don't recommend this game.
While on vacation, you are haunted by the ghost of a poor painter in love with a rich heiress – who was killed at Fairing Point!

Reminds Me of Agatha Christie

The screenshot of the parlor during the storm is what made me want to try the game. It reminded me of an Agatha Christie novel I've recently read called And Then There Were None. It's a lot like how I imagined the house in that book. The game is modern without being too modern. It still feels classy. The puzzles were challenging without being frustrating. The hints gave clues to where to go without spelling out the answer. It's a charming game if you like a good mystery but don't want a dark atmosphere.
Generally, if I like a game enough to buy it, it's worth getting the collector's edition. I tried to find out if it was worth the extra money/credit but not many reviews elaborated on the bonus content. There is not much in the CE, other than a bonus chapter: the original house at the beginning of the game, and all the rooms therein. It was a bit disappointing. It's just the epilogue, and gives some more info about what happened to the other characters after the story ended. It's worth it if you want more gameplay, but the extended storyline is not, in my opinion, worth the CE.
I will definitely be trying out the other Dana Knightstone games. It's a pity there aren't real books!
I recommend this game!
