I played "Call of the Sea" on an Xbox Series X hooked up to a Samsung 4K QLED TV after first trying it out on my computer. However, the game's art direction and ingenious puzzles give "Call of the Sea" undeniable momentum. (Even Norah's plucky spirit seems like it was cribbed from watching movies.) Everything feels derived from something else. The game's story is a pastiche of genre cliches knitted together: an island that acts as a portal to another realm, an illness that brings with it a gift as well as a curse, madness, blood sacrifice, etc. She can use her findings to figure out the proper sequence in which to arrange the dials on the device that controls the bridge. By exploring the nearby area, Norah will come across pillars containing symbols along with drawings of mountains, fish, and water. One of the easier puzzles early in the game finds her needing to decipher the marking on a device that controls the directional orientation of a wooden bridge. Ashore, she discovers that the feelings of chronic fatigue associated with her illness are gone.Īs Norah heads inland, she will come across various symbols and ideograms on the surfaces of walls and objects, which she'll jot down in a notebook.
It matches a drawing she made that was inspired by a dream. As she draws closer to the shoreline, she is startled by the sight of a stone obelisk rising above a promontory near the center of the island. But she finds the captain of a ship who is willing to drop her off in a paddle boat near the island and return to pick her up three days later. On the trail of her husband, Norah discovers that the people of Tahiti and the seafaring folk who work in the area shun the unnamed neighboring island.
For the past few months, Norah has fretted over the whereabouts of her husband, who went missing after trying to find a cure for his wife's mysterious illness. Her journey from Denver to the South Pacific is occasioned by a package she received in the mail that contained a key, an ornamental knife and a picture of her husband Harry with the coordinates of the island written on the back. Set during the closing months of 1934, "Call of the Sea" is a demanding puzzle game that follows Norah, a former art teacher, as she travels by ship to an island located east of Tahiti. Lovecraft and weird, early 20th-century fiction like a flower on a lapel. "This place is like a labyrinth," she says aloud, then, looking at one of the murals she gasps, "They were submerged in black ichor!" I giggled to myself when I heard those words because they seemed to perfectly sum up the pulpy tenor of this game which wears its affinity for H.P. There is a moment late in "Call of the Sea" where Norah Everhart, the game's heroine, is walking through an otherworldly temple adorned with murals depicting ritual sacrifice. The Little Mermaid, directed by Rob Marshall, opens in theaters nationwide on May 26, 2023.A scene from "Call of the Sea."
