It took me north of six hours to play through Call of the Sea, but whilst a direct route from puzzle to puzzle would shave that down considerably, the empty spaces in Norah’s journal at the end of it indicate even more eldritch secrets hidden away in enriching optional interactions — which are more than worth the intense scouring it takes to uncover them. Varied and interesting puzzles occasionally clash with obtuse clues, and there’s a couple of choppy technical hitches, but little can detract from the solid story of love in the face of the unknown, and understanding as the antidote to fear.
