With Update: still very easy, only found 2 or 3 puzzles/clues to be a challenge, but it's a fun little time killer esp for the initial price of $1.99. With the update I found fast travel ($.99) to be helpful, but after finishing the game again you don't necessarily need it as you mostly finish with 1 section of the map while working on the next section. Thanks for contacting me about the updated game, Syntaxity! Worth it!

Hello, We recently updated the game with a major expansion including double the gameplay, puzzles and map size. This is a free update, you just need to download.

awesome game - point and click controls remind me of Myst, but the puzzles are much easier to figure out, in that it's much clearer what each puzzle's controls do. it was a little disappointing that the solution for area 13 was so specific, but that was the only puzzle I had trouble with. it wasn't *easy*, but it was quite doable without hints. it just needs patience and a lot of back of and forth work. overall, an excellent game. keep up the good work, Syntaxity!

The game has been added onto so it's not as short, and fast travel is free, so ignore that from old reviews. While The Lost Ship is fun (got it on sale for free), it's not as good as Blackthorn Castle. Some puzzles, like the water pipe and card symbols, are designed poorly. Looking past that, though, there's plenty of good content, so not bad overall.
