About
Following Alice's near-fatal poisoning in Japan, the paranormal investigating trio decides a vacation is in order. Traveling to Greece, they find themselves in the remote fishing village of Agia Anna. However, they soon learn that even while on vacation their work is never done. It seems that ancient creatures of legend known as the Sea People have been emerging from the ocean at night and dragging villagers down to the depths to eat them.
Ben, Simon, and Alice must investigate and stop the SCOURGE OF THE SEA PEOPLE!

The series shows a marked improvement in some areas in this case, most notably in the music, which fits the Greek atmosphere perfectly. This case seems rather shorter than it seems it should be, however, and the puzzles are arguably the easiest in the series, so veteran players should be able to sail through the game. It's definitely one of the higher points of the series so far, however, so fans shouldn't miss it.

I really enjoyed this game just like all the other games in this series.
Wow! This one had an excellent plot, good character development, and only a couple of obscure puzzles. The best part is there were so many places to go in a medium sized adventure game. Now that I've played all 7, I'm definitely looking forward to future entries!
Obviously a lot of effort went into this, but I found that the puzzles really weren't to my taste in this game, having some strange solutions and ideas. Other than that it is recommended, the story is good but again not the best in the series, nice visuals and characters, as always the detective work is very cool.
I was a little annoyed that the other characters mostly just stood around and some of the puzzles were easy, but those two minor points put aside: this game is perfect!
This case brings Ben to Greece - and possibly has one of the biggest plot setups in the series for future releases. Can't wait 'til case 7!
Pros: Great plot and characters, lots of development of characters and overall plot, good music.
Cons: Some puzzles a bit easy to veterans.
