## Description

A mysterious artifact is retrieved from the bottom of the Atlantic and sent to
a scientist for research. He soon discovers its purpose: it’s actually an
ancient device beaming a signal to an isolated island since ages long
forgotten. A research team is sent to the isle, but their ship is engulfed in
a blinding light as they get close to the shore. One of the researchers wakes
up alone aboard the boat, and starts to investigate the island and its many
locations to uncover the mystery.

_Pathfinders: Lost at Sea_ is a hidden object game with adventure elements,
where the main objective is to find and click on all the items listed on the
screen of a cell phone at the left side, on locations cluttered with assorted
paraphernalia scattered around the scenery. Some of the entries are marked in
yellow, for items that have to be photographed and stored in the inventory and
later used to solve puzzles. The inventory photos can be displayed and
scrolled with the labeled buttons on the phone, enabling the registered items
to be dragged and dropped from it to logical and appropriate portions of the
scenery. The hint button highlights the position of one of the required items,
but takes some time to recharge after use.

Mini-games appear occasionally on a separate screen, where the player has to
flip pairs of identical cards in a memory game, assemble shredded notes, click
on all the differences between two similar images, place gears in a clockwork
mechanism and complete other challenges. These puzzles can be optionally
skipped after a few minutes.
