## Description

Fighting her fears of drowning, Mary Morehouse embarks in the maiden voyage of
the Mary Celeste. While busy exploring the ship and following strange noises,
the crew and passengers vanish, leaving her and the captain to solve the
mystery surrounding their disappearance.

_The Mystery of the Mary Celeste_ is a hidden object game with adventure
elements. The objective is to collect all the items show at the bottom, as a
series of black-and-white images on porthole windows, and use them to solve
puzzles. Some portions of the scenery bring up a close-up window showing
another angle of the scene, usually containing some of the required objects.
Clicking on certain objects and characters opens up a number of connected
containers around them, and the player has to drag and drop the collected
tools from the inventory portholes to these blue circles, to complete the
scene and move to the next one.

Mini-games usually appear at the end of each chapter, presenting various
challenges and puzzles. A pipeline has to be reassembled with scattered
pieces, lengths of rope must be untangled by dragging a series of pulleys,
wires have to be connected to complete a circuit, red pins have to be fixed to
a nautical map following a list of coordinates and a radio has to be tuned to
the correct sound waves. The games can be skipped at any time.
