Platform:

Available on PC, Mac and Linux, Nightmares from the Deep: The Cursed Heart is a mixture of pirates, undead pirates, mini-games and puzzles and a brilliantly-crafted story.  

You play museum owner Sarah Black, who must pursue an undead pirate who has kidnapped her daughter. You’re led to a mysterious island where you find moss-covered relics of the Golden Age of Piracy.

However, the true nature of the island will only be revealed in the light of a full moon. Residing in the island’s center is a gigantic, skull-shaped rock. The beaches are littered with the sun-bleached bones of pirates.

You learn that the villain is entangled in a tragic, centuries-old love story and wants to resurrect his mistress with your daughter’s life force. You must rescue her before it’s too late.

I've been with JA in one capacity or other since 2003. I'm currently website administrator. I'm also a digital artist (my avatar is one of my creations). I write reviews and articles, create graphics and basically help tend the site. It's work I enjoy very much. I love playing games of all kinds, but adventure and RPGs are my favorites (particularly scary/dark/unsettling ones). At the top of my list are The Cat Lady, The Longest Journey, Dreamfall, Still Life (first one only), Scratches and Culpa Innata. I'm a dyed-in-the-wool recluse and prefer the company of animals, hardware and ghosts to human beings (no offense). And no bio would be complete without my saying that I do NOT care for phones of ANY sort. Further, I think Dell computers are garbage and that Microsoft has become megalomaniacal.
