Wish I had stuck with it sooner...
Honestly I wish I had bought the CE - not because of any extra content, which is usually not worth additional cost, imo - but because the developers get more money and I want to see more from the creators of this title.
Not that it was perfect. I had graphic issues where if I used the option to adjust for wide screen w/ pillar boxing, it actually made it LESS clear? Overall there was a lack of the clarity one normally sees in games w/ CEs. Add to that some dismal voice acting (seriously BAD) and that's some hefty strikes which made me jump to conclusions about the game and table it until the SE.
BUT now having played the SE through I found the gameplay was excellent with lots of tricky inventory puzzling, none of which was over the top illogical, a pet peeve of mine. I am an old school Adventure gamer so I like wandering about and gathering stuff to use later and there's plenty of that over lots of environments. Hidden Object scenes were junk pile, but logical w/o weird sizes or gravity defying objects and appropriate items. Mini-games were a touch on the easy side but fun and several were new to me which rarely happens.
The story was nicely realized with a good dollop of humor and some pathos. Since it wrapped up nicely in the SE I am curious about what might have been added for CE.
The music was good and I liked the look of the graphics, though it had the blurriness/pixely issues mentioned above.
Nice looong duration that had me surprised with the number of areas offered and things to do.
Anyway, as I said, this one grows on you and has lots to offer the deeper you get, so hang in there past cringe worthy voice overs and expect lots of fun on the horizon.

Ahoy, thar be a good story here
Fantastic game. Lasts a long time, traveling throughout the game I found one scene after another very beautifully done.
HO's moderate to hard to find tiny items, but ok in my book.
Storyline was excellent and characters were likeable. Puzzles were somewhat hard, and some tedious "looking" for pieces to collect for completion of tasks. Journal holds it all. You save a friend from a curse, and free many others in the process. Very good game in my collection to be played again.

Happy I found this one
I just completed the game. It took a while because I played it over a couple of days and, to be honest, I didn't want it to end.
There was no map but you really didn't need one. The hint button didn't tell you where to go; therefore, it was a good idea to remember where certain items might be needed. The Journal does help. For example, I picked up an item early on in the game but did not use it till very close to the finish.
The graphics were very nice, some interactive items in the HO's, and most things were not really hard to find.
The games were not too hard and could be skipped.
I enjoyed the story line.
I scored the level of challenge a little high because I did not keep close enough track where items were needed.
All in all, I would not mind playing it again.

Fly With the Dutchman!
I loved this game since the trial version and I finally bought it recently. It is super fun and intuitive, yet challenging.
I am really glad I got it and I am sure I will play it over and over as time goes on.
The atmosphere changes. It's another one that has its share of diabolical characters but at the same time has some very sweet elements which are refreshing.

i really had to think playing this one!!!!
it is a long game and the thinking process has to be working. i had to cheat quite often toward the end. no map but there is a diary. hint/skip charge in about 1 minute. a lot of back and forth. make sure you have your thinking caps on. mini games aren't too hard. i didn't have to skip most of them like i usually do. it will take you some time to finish, though. you are trying to set souls free that the captain captured and assemble a necklace he took from one of the women he imprisoned.

Nice Long Game!
I enjoyed this game, I must say it is a worth a credit as it is one of the longer games I have played. Pleasant, and fun way to spend some time. I liked the graphics as I look for things that are colorful and clear due to less than 20/20 vision.. I say go for it ! Lots of fun in my book.

Nothing exciting or new, but a nicely paced game nonetheless
I demoed this a few months ago, and it immediately went on my "buy it when it's released" list. there's nothing new or innovative about this game, but it struck my fancy anyway.
the hidden object scenes are not too difficult, and everything I saw was labeled what it should be. but I did have to think over a couple of puzzles #though most I got pretty quickly, so not too strenuous#. bring your sneakers, you'll be doing quite a bit of trekking about. luckily, they block off areas a couple of times during scene changes so you're not going over the entire map. you're also not going from one scene to another, back and forth between the two several times, to complete one task. you'll have to visit a few different places to get everything together.
most of the inventory items you need to use are logical, a few are a bit off and a couple items you'll carry around until you forget you have them... that's when you'll need them.
the game was a good length, I didn't feel cheated at the end of the game, and I wasn't at the point where I was waiting for it to be over. I don't know that I've seen another game by this developer, but I think I'll go on a hunt to see what else they offer. it was a very enjoyable way to spend the weekend.
if I had one complaint, it would be that more voiceovers would have really given this a bit more polish.
