This game is an absolute treasure. If you're interested in playing some classic retro PC games then this one should definitely be on your list. Especially if you're someone who is interested in the Titanic.

You play as a British secret agent aboard the Titanic during the night of the sinking. You're pretty much the James Bond of 1912. The game is mostly point and click with little action. You'll find that the graphics and gameplay style are quite dated and some of the puzzles are awfully difficult. However, the non-linear story and exploration of the ship are still very enjoyable. There's no autosave and it's possible to get a "game over" so you should save somewhat often. You can succeed or fail at objectives, and the game turns into a race against time to make it onto a lifeboat. The better your performance before the iceberg, the easier it is to succeed during the sinking. There's one "good" ending and a few "bad" endings based on what items you manage to leave the ship with. That is, if you manage to leave the ship alive at all.

Some technical problems I've had was a completely black main menu screen and missing textures in the game. This was fixed simply by pressing Esc on the black menu screen to start a new game and then saving the game which restored the textures. Also, the dialogue from the characters is sometimes cut off. That is something I couldn't fix and it sounds like they're interrupting each other if there's more than one person speaking.

Other than that, I truly enjoyed playing this game again for the first time in about 10 years and I hope you'll enjoy it too. I finished it thrice in only six hours. A somewhat short game if you already know where to go and what to do. Newcomers will take much longer but there's more fun to be had in simply walking around and exploring anyway. For the cheap price tag, it's a great addition to your Steam library.

Good luck, and enjoy the adventure!
