Empress of the Deep – The Darkest Secret Review

You are entombed in the deepest ocean encased in a sarcophagus with no memory of who you are and why you ended up in this strange world. In order to survive and find the necessary answers to your questions, you must first escape this mausoleum into an underwater city. Yes, this story sounds familiar with a different setting, but the tale will keep you searching in this beautifully drawn Mac seek and find game. Empress of the Deep-The Darkest Secret will hook you along the way looking for any answers to your identity and the mysterious location you are trapped in.

Puzzles must be solved, passageways must be traversed and answers must be found in this hidden object/seek and find game. This is less hidden object play, and more seek and find and uncover puzzles throughout this environment type of game. The story is the main focus with the mini games enhancing the play.

You move your cursor over objects in a location to find secrets of your past. If the cursor changes to a magnifying glass, there’s more to do at that spot. You move around the room until you get a large arrow pointing to an exit. If you have completed that area, it will say so on the upper left side, but if not, you may need to return. The map will let you know in red where you are and illuminated circle will let you know where you need to go. There are other helps along the way with Jacob talking to you, and there is a little girl who will request you get 10 red orbs for her in different locations. Along the way you may collect strange symbols that will come in handy later in different puzzles. In addition, there are flowers you will pick up in the scenes. All your information will be available to you on the lower left side of the screen. There is also a hint button on the lower right side when you use it, it will replenish in time.

The many locations are easily accessible except the Vault of Science. Its entrance is destroyed, and you will have to find another way into that area. Each scene is full of interesting and strange objects. The mini games are the usual jigsaw puzzle and unravel the codes to enter places. Later in the game you must find 3 Imperial Relics that hold the secrets of your past.

Mac game Empress of the Deep-The Darkest Secret is an involved tale with you looking for your identity, who the terrible empress Pandora is and why this garden dome under water exists. I found this game interesting and easier to move around and explore than other similar games like the Dream Chronicles series. It is more like Princess Isabella but with less mini games. So unlock the clues and while away the hours with Empress of the Deep. Be careful along the way and can you really trust Jacob?
