Amazing point and click game with an excellent story.
Nightmares from the Deep 3: Davy Jones is an excellent puzzle adventure game in the point and click genre that I really enjoyed. I have to admit that I did not play the previous two installments in the series so I obviously missed some story but even then, this game can be played really well as a standalone game and still be as fun.
In Nightmares from the Deep 3: Davy Jones, you play as Sara Black, who is determined to save her daughter Corey, who made a pact with Davy Jones himself to protect her mother. This pact is binding, and Sara must find her daughter and think of a way to cancel the pact.
She travels to the cursed island, home of Davy Jones in search for answers and allies that can aid her in this difficult task. You meet a mysterious witch on the island that agrees to help you, if you help her first. There is also an alchemist with the same motives on the island. You must find many different objects, solve ancient puzzles and combine items to create new tools.
You meet a ghost of a fine-looking woman that roams the island and need to uncover the mystery of her faith and how you can help her to find peace. In the end you face Davy Jones himself, beat his ass and rescue your daughter.
There are many puzzles in the game that require a keen eye to complete. The puzzles vary from finding hidden objects to combining found objects into useful tools or potions to progress further. You also get ancient doorways and hidden rooms that you can access by completing the mechanism or hitting the right switches in order.
The artwork is beautiful and follows the same standard as the Grim Legends: The Forsaken Bride game. The 2D and 3D elements mixed together work very well and shows some impressive visuals in my opinion.
The music is calm and relaxing at first and build up some tension the closer you get to your arch nemesis, Davy Jones. In terms of controls, the clicking is responsive enough but sometimes it is a little hard to determine where you are supposed to click.
The story is great and always kept me wondering what will happen next. Each completed puzzle drove you closer to the answers and, hopefully, saving your daughter. The final chapter and the battle with Davy Jones were glorious. It was dark and for a moment, I seriously thought that poor Corey would not make it. But everything worked out fine in the end.
The greatest joy I put out of this game was completing all the achievements the game offered. Although many come naturally by just playing the game, some require that you do not skip puzzles or use hints, adding some challenge to the game.
However, the greatest enemy in this game for me, was the hint button. I obviously wanted to earn the achievement in which you use no hints, but the hint button is this big fat platter of a button in the right corner, always keeping me on edge not to accidentally click it, like happened to me in The Forsaken Bride game.
In the end, I had a lot of fun with Nightmares from the Deep 3: Davy Jones and would surely recommend it to everyone.

I liked this third installment better than the second. Finally we meet Davy Jones and he's the big baddie pirate.The animation seemed a bit better, less jarring walking animations. They had an original spin on the story rather than trying to stick Lovecraftian in it.
The length was good for a puzzle, point and click.This wasn't my favorite series by Artifex Mundi. Maybe I'm biased since I'm not huge into pirates. I really enjoyed the puzzles best of all. There were a variety of puzzles and the collectables were different. However the story wasn't the strong suit overall.
This could be working title, "pirates are bad and my daughter won't stop getting kidnapped."
We're going against and later helping pirates in all three games. (Again maybe I'm biased) but when I think of a pirate, I think of someone that is murdering, thieving, pillaging, etc. They're either doing this in the game or it's mentioned. When you later help some of these pirates, I didn't really want to...they suck as people. They're literally torturing and kidnapping people, why would I want to help them? That sucks.

The search and find are more interesting than the rest of the game, and don't come often, but overall just a good breath of fresh air if you need something from a genre you don't touch much.
I love Artifex Mundi and their peculiar Scandinavian sensibilities. I will play literally every single one of their Hidden Object adventure games.
