Black Sails is another role-playing game from the developer Deck 13, who already developed Ankh and Jack Keane. This time we are dealing with a horror adventure.
Black Sails - The ghost ship
The protagonist is Anna, a journalist for the New York Times who was shipwrecked in Portugal on January 4, 1884. After this she manages to save herself on an abandoned sailing ship. Another character is Lex. He was also able to save himself on the ship.
Black itself is a classic point and click adventure. Objects that you can collect are marked with a small wheel when you move the mouse over them. Here one tries not to confuse with too many objects. The Ritz terminal and the menu design are not too cumbersome and very clearly arranged. In the game you have to collect and combine objects in order to solve puzzles.
In Black Sails you have to find out what happened on the ship. There are some great scenes and cutscenes here that create just the right atmosphere. The synchronization of the game is excellent, as is the graphics.
Conclusion
The puzzles in Black Sails are structured logically. The thriller has become very exciting and knows how to carry you away. You work with shock moments, scene changes and room for interpretation for the player. The game is pretty scary, but it doesn't offer as many nuts as other deck 13 games.
