I see why people like this but it is more of a logic puzzle than a mystery—it's like a scenario in one of those Usborne Puzzle Adventure books for kids. After the first big ooh-ahh reveal there is nothing especially gripping or surprising on the narrative level, it's just the chore of sorting out tedious minutiae like who fell off the mizzenmast, who got popped with the blunderbuss, who fell starboard into the drink, and I finished more out of obligation than curiosity. Nice aesthetic tho.
