Customer Reviews
Great point n click in tradition of grim fandango
Fantastic musical score, beautiful art combo of hand drawn and computer animation, fun puzzles that aren't too hard and a simple but engaging story to start off the first chapter...can't wait to play the next!
My mom only negatives is it was kind of short, though I'm told the next chapter is 2x as long (with the 3rd and final chapter being the best in terms of length and content), so I can give it a pass as this was a small issue Dniester project that thankfully work out for them to make the 2 other chapters they wanted to tell the story....and my other negative is beyond the the main voice acting, some of the side characters are pretty badly recorded, but this again can be forgiven.
PS. Please developers update game for iOS 10 per Apple request so game will continue to work on future iOS generations
Good adventure game but bad voice acting
This is a good adventure game obviously inspired by Grim Fandango. If you liked that, you'll enjoy this one.
However, the big problem is the voice acting, which you can't turn off for some reason. It's corny and borderline offensive, with what appears to be white folks badly attempting Caribbean accents. The worst example is the main character, unfortunately. He sounds like a Jamaican Bobcat Goldthwaite.
Fun and Entertaining Point and Click Adventure
I loved playing this game. The artwork is beautiful and the puzzles are fun but not overly difficult. If you enjoyed the classic point and click games of LucasArts, like the Monkey Island Series, you will definitely enjoy this game. They adapted touch screen controls so the interface is fairly intuitive.
