I'd give this game a neutral review if I could. Is it a great game? No. The volume mixing is completely off, the voice actors are definitely amateurs, and you can't quick-travel across scenes, so you have to wait for the character to walk all the way across each time. The puzzles are very unintuitive and require pixel-hunting. In one case, the puzzle requires you to click on the same thing four times, where the first three times don't work and give you no indication that the fourth will. The story doesn't really make sense at the end, either. But is it a kind of interesting, campy passion project you can enjoy for a few hours? Sure. It's not bad, just very very amateurish.

About This Game
Peter Taylor's wife is dead.
One day he decided to take a vacation abroad. He arrives at a small, quiet coastal town where tourists are sparse and everybody knows each other. It's only when he notices people are going missing and all the signs point to a dark, mysterious island out to sea that he decides to team up with local journalist Michelle and terrified-yet-adventure-seeking waiter Glenn to go and investigate.
What secrets does the island hold? What are the locals hiding? And what's causing those blood-curdling screams that seem to be coming from that mysterious island in the dead of night?
Calm Waters is a 2D classic point and click thriller/mystery/horror influenced by the likes of Lost and Twin Peaks.
Calm Waters features:
- Professional voice actors
- Full 1080p HD 2D pre-rendered backgrounds
- Intriguing characters
- An immersive story full of twists and turns
- An atmospheric soundtrack
Apart from the voice actors and music, the entire game was created by myself over the space of 6 years.
