  • story

    25 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is imaginative and unique, blending historical figures like Abraham Lincoln and Jesse James with supernatural elements, though some find it incoherent and underdeveloped. It is praised for being engaging and filled with interesting historical tidbits, but the narrative can feel short and somewhat confusing. Overall, fans of hidden object games appreciate the plot's creativity despite its brevity and occasional lack of clarity.

    • “Unusual and crazy plot of working with ghost Abraham Lincoln and time traveling back to stop a flaming skeleton Jesse James and Confederate soldiers.”
    • “Solving various puzzles and hidden object minigames reveals the plot and uncovers the mystery.”
    • “The story was interesting and filled with little known historical information about Jesse James and some of the other outlaws.”
    • “My main issue -- and the one that makes me hesitate in my decision to give it a thumbs up or a thumbs down score -- is in the story itself.”
    • “I understand the basic beats -- something about evil witches cursing the Lincoln family -- but this is only ever visibly present at one point in the story.”
    • “Therefore, the plot had the chance to explore something other than literary references, yet it just randomly throws in whatever Civil War era trivia the developers could think of, resulting in a mostly incoherent, confusing treasure hunt/ghost story.”
  • graphics

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are generally praised for their appealing art style, vibrant colors, and overall beauty, though some note they are somewhat outdated and could benefit from improvements like enhanced cutscenes and higher quality visuals.

    • “A really great hog with amazing story and good graphics.”
    • “Great hog game, beautiful visuals, decent puzzles and not bad story, pretty good.”
    • “The artstyle is very good and looks honestly very pretty and a lot more rich in colour than previous games of this series.”
    • “It is enjoyable and nice despite the really outdated graphics”
    • “A bit longer, with better graphics and cutscenes, and better puzzles.”
  • gameplay

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally short and somewhat tacky, with some users experiencing lag issues. While the story and bonus chapter offer enjoyable moments, the gameplay itself is considered less engaging and inconsistent compared to other titles.

    • “Gameplay scored 9 out of 10.”
    • “The bonus chapter had more good goofy Lincoln/Jesse James antics, though gameplay-wise, it was worse than most other HOGs I've played.”
    • “In terms of gameplay, I did not hate my time spent with Witches of Abraham.”
    • “The bonus chapter had more good goofy Lincoln/Jesse James antics, but gameplay-wise, the bonus chapter was worse than most other Hogs I've played.”
    • “Gameplay feels similarly tacky.”
    • “Unfortunately, from the opening scenes to the main menu into the gameplay all it did was lag.”
  • humor

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players appreciate the game's humor, especially its quirky characters like the flaming skull Jessie James and the amusing concept of receiving missions from the ghost of Abraham Lincoln. The unique, lighthearted tone adds a fun and entertaining element to the experience.

    • “This is my first hidden object game and I largely wanted to play it because the flaming skull guy in the logo (technically Jesse James) looked super rad, and I thought the idea of being sent on missions by the ghost of Abraham Lincoln was hilarious.”
  • atmosphere

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users praise the game's atmosphere for its engaging and improved animation, noting it is significantly better than in previous titles.
