Back in the colonial era, the British Empire was spreading throughout every corner of the world, whether it was Africa, South America, or even India. Naturally, ships were the fastest and the safest transportation method, which means that there were a lot of sailors back in the day, all of whom had a stories about the ocean and its perils.

Jack Keane is a point-and-click adventure game that revolves around a brave ship captain by the same name, as well as his adventures around the world and the trouble he always seems to find himself into. Naturally, there are a few more memorable characters as well, some of which are part of the story until the end and they are instrumental when it comes to providing Keane with the right advice or talent in various situations.

Speaking of which, the main plot tells the story of Doctor T, an evil scientist who has devised a plant species that's capable of consuming every tea plant out there, except for his own. This way, he can provide the entire world with tea and get rich in the process, provided that no one finds out about his scheme. Obviously, the Empire quickly sends someone to investigate, but since the island on which Doctor T is rather remote and hard to access, they need a reckless and anonymous ship captain to take them there. Hence, the unsuccessful and not-at-all-famous Jack Keane enters the picture and his tale begins to unfold.

The gameplay mechanics work as you would expect them to in a point-and-click adventure game, which means that you have to interact with the world around you, pick up objects and use them in various purposes along the way. Everything you happen to pick up goes into your inventory and you can easily access the items whenever you need to do so, since they are constantly visible on your screen.

Graphic-wise, the game uses a very cartoonish style to depict the environments and the characters themselves, since many of their features are exaggerated for some comic relief. However, they are very detailed and nicely drawn, which makes the world look more lively and worthy of being explored. The characters are also very expressive and the voice acting is spot on, most of the time, even if the accents can be a little forced and annoying at times.

Despite the fact that the puzzles are very easy and there's not too much challenge involved when it comes to solving them, Jack Keane is a pretty good adventure game, mostly because you get to go through many amusing and fascinating events along the way. The characters themselves are worth the effort, especially since they evolve and change opinions the more mysteries you unfold.
