One of the best!

One of the best point and click adventure games I have ever played and I played a ton of them. This it Lucas Arts quality all over it. The writing is great, the voice acting is top-notch, the characters were very likable, it was clever and funny. The items you use made sense and Grammies book was a great way to assist without giving you the answers. Please make another like this, or a sequel! This was great!

Wasn’t as good as I was expecting.

I had my eye on this game for a while but wasn’t sure if I wanted to spend $15 on a mobile game. The other reviews convinced me. This isn’t a game where there are puzzles to solve, most of the gameplay is in the interactions you have with characters. The dialogue and wordplay is funny but I wished there was just more to the game. Other than the scene in the underworld and the final battle.. it just seemed way too easy. I guess if you’re looking for a casual chill game, that’s fine but I was hoping for something a bit more challenging and possibly longer too. It felt pretty short to me.

Hoping for more. Also, weird racial undertones?

I was expecting more out of a $15 game. I thought it would be puzzles but it’s mostly just dialogue with characters and very little piecing things together. Also, I hate to say it, but there are definite racial undertones in this game. The Voodoo Detective HATES the tourists (who are all white) and he loves the locals (who are black). I mean, I kinda get that. But then there’s also the actual white characters have either been the annoying white stereotype of overly smiley and dumb or they’re totally unlikable and rude for no reason. Tho I will say there have been a couple other white characters that seem ok.

This game is fun!

There are so, so few reviews on this game, so I thought I'd write one. I really enjoy point and click mystery games and this one is well made and I enjoyed playing it. The story was interesting, animation is very pretty, the dialogue and characters are fun, the use of spells is unique, and overall it was a good experience. I hope they come out with more games like this, I really liked it

Point and Click Perfection!

This is more than I’ve ever spent on a phone game, and I was skeptical. It ended up being EXACTLY the type of game I wanted. It filled the hole left by the point and click adventure games of the 90s (Monkey Island, King’s Quest, various LucasArts adventures). Really well thought out game with great art and playability. I cannot wait for another from this studio, so let’s keep the pressure on 😉

What a kick

It took a minute or two to figure out a few things in this game, but once I did, it was a lot of fun. I'm going to try it again with the different settings you can choose for the detective. Now that I know the basics, I know I'll enjoy the subtle nuances and get even more enjoyment out of it.

Spirit guide needed in isle 5 for a hexing

Adventure game, check. Fun game, check. Offbeat humor, check. Great backgrounds, check. Perfect music per scene, yep. Superb voiceovers, you get the gist. Sometimes tricky, sometimes really clever, sometimes just really cute. Talk about traversing and cursing. This is something Dr. John and Gregg Rolie would enjoy (sorry, you’ll have to do some research there.)

Fantastic game! Like the Broken Sword series

Reminds me a lot of the Broken Sword adventure series. Although it felt a bit pricey, it was well worth the money since I take my time with these point-and-click adventures and due to the art and music. I hope to see more games from this developer!!
