Visually the graphics are fantastic, almost as though they are traced from real photographs. There are also many animated graphics throughout the game. For example, little bubbles of air floating up through the water, or fish swimming around.

The audio / music sounds mysterious and is theatre in style.

The introduction page has 3 options:

1. Play
2. Get Full Game (download to PC)
3. Buy Game (full version)

Press Play and as soon as the game loads you see a welcome screen that tells you the objectives of the level. ie. find as many items on the list shown along the left side of the game.

It also tells the player to take note of the 'hint' button in case they get stuck. Good thing this tip was included as the 'hint' button may have other wise gone unnoticed by the player, as it's quite well hidden amongst the graphics.

Also displayed along the left side of the game are the following elements:

• Time remaining, which initially starts at 5 minutes. You'll notice when researching hidden object games that most of the time limits start with 5 minutes.
• The hint button that shows how many hints you have left.
• The list of objects and items to find, 8 in total for each level.
• Jewels found. Find 5 jewels to gain an extra hint.

When the time limit runs out before you find all the hidden objects, you're given a new game with a different list of items to find. On the downside, you are made to return to the very first introductory page when this happens. Maybe sending the player back to that specific level would have been a better option from a gamers point of view?

The lack of a pause button is another disadvantage of this game. Personally, I like to be able to pause a game.
