## Description
Modern day pirates have abducted the passengers of a luxury cruise liner and
are holding them for ransom. After the negotiations break down, it is up to
one of the cruise ship passengers, bitter old Joseph Lancaster, to outwit the
pirate crew and save his fellow hostages.
_Barely Floating_ is a standard third-person perspective point & click
adventure game. The left mouse button is used for movement and interaction
with objects and non-player characters. The right mouse button is used as the
Look command, triggering Joseph to describe the item clicked on. There is an
inventory, and objects in the inventory can be used to interact with each
other and with other objects in the environment. One innovation is the ability
during dialogue with a character to ask about objects in the same room –
moving the mouse cursor away from the dialogue options allows the player to
scroll around the room and select extra topics for conversation.
