I’m trying to recall the name of an old puzzle point-and-click game I played a while back. The game is set on a haunted ship stranded in the middle of the ocean. You control a guy who seems to be alone on the ship for some unknown reason. I played it on my dad’s laptop around 2013, and I remember that it was a 2D game with cutscenes that added to the experience. Also, there was a vase in the game that would fill up and, when clicked, provided hints to help solve puzzles. If I remember anything else, I’ll add more details.

From what you described, it sounds like a classic spooky point-and-click adventure. The detail about the vase that fills up and gives hints is pretty unique, so that might narrow it down. Unfortunately, I can’t name the exact game, but it definitely fits the style of atmospheric puzzle games from the early 2010s. Maybe checking puzzle games set on ships from that era could help you find it.
If you’re sure about the setting being a haunted ship and that puzzle mechanic with the vase, it might be worth looking into some lesser-known indie titles. The puzzle hint system is a neat touch, not very common. Have you tried browsing lists of point-and-click games released around 2013? That could jog your memory.
Sounds like it could almost be something like ‘Black Sails – The Ghost Ship’ but that game might not have every detail you mentioned. Given your description, it’s probably a niche title. Also, you mentioned you played it on your dad’s laptop in 2013, so the game might have been released a few years before that. Maybe searching for haunted ship-themed puzzle games from late 2000s to early 2010s might lead you in the right direction.
Thanks, that’s a good idea. I’ll check based on release dates and those unique gameplay elements.
