In one of the most hilariously terrible hidden object games ever made, you try to solve the mystery of the Flying Dutchman, although this game's story doesn't have anything to do with legendary ghost ship. Your character takes pictures of seemingly random places, then scrambles them on (what appears to be) a computer made from a video screen attached to a typewriter. Unscrambling the images magically reveals a ghostly sailor in each photograph (which your character erroneously refers to as "paintings"). Your character then writes fanfiction-like explanations for what he/she sees in the pictures.

The Flying Dutchman is beyond abysmal, even for an oldschool hidden object game. Along with all the typos, terrible story, repetitive and ridiculously short gameplay, and poor graphics/sound quality, even the game's title is uncertain. The title screen and game files all call it "The Flying Dutchman", but the Steam marquis calls it "The Mystery of the Flying Dutchman". The picture unscrambling scenes are the only puzzles the game has, and the only reason I am including a guide for them is so you can see just how terrible this is: https://flyingomelette.com/shrines/hog/dutchman/dutchman.html_



Do you like it, need it, love it? I have a key for you
Wow.
Installing it, I need to see it with my own eyes. Such a treasure is lost in the library!

Looks cool, still trying to win it via gameplay giveaway since it's still possible, though the chances are low, there are so many gems like Cryostasis.

I recently checked to see how they run on Steam Deck, and it's interesting, but Clive Barker's Jericho was played with high settings if I remember correctly, and I'm not sure if the user had 100% battery, but he had like 1 hour left of battery to play it.

Its ancient...i'm surprised they only got an hour out of it, regardless how good it was for its time...its old now--even Dirt 2 isnt that resource heavy on ultramax, although it works better with my wheel than most modern games :LOL:

Yeah, it should consume less power since it's very old, I would have imagined this as maybe a 4h game rather than 1h, I still assume he had very little battery, but I don't remember seeing it
