  • story64 mentions

    The game's story is described as intriguing and engaging, with a unique premise set in a cursed New Orleans, but ultimately feels rushed and incomplete, ending abruptly with a "to be continued." Many players express disappointment over the lack of resolution and the game's short length, suggesting that it had the potential for a more developed narrative. While some appreciate the atmosphere and plot twists, the overall consensus is that the story does not fully deliver, leaving players wanting more.

    • “In addition to these aspects, I found the story to be intriguing and very engaging, and I wanted to learn more as I went along.”
    • “The story has a basic setup: New Orleans has fallen under some kind of curse and it's up to a rookie voodoo witch to set things straight.”
    • “This game has a great story that pulls you in, a great atmosphere that gives some genuine chills, some well-done puzzles, and the objects that you need to find to use to progress make sense.”
    • “I can't lie and say that it isn't disappointing, as the story had so much more potential.”
    • “The game progresses right down to the bank after the bar, and leaves an already frustrating storyline with more holes.”
    • “The game is of average length for a hidden object game but ends abruptly with a 'to be continued,' and there's no sign of a sequel yet, so you don't even get a conclusion to the story.”
  • gameplay17 mentions

    The gameplay is characterized by standard hidden object mechanics, complemented by spell and crafting systems that, while enjoyable, are not particularly innovative compared to other titles in the genre. Players appreciate the challenge and exploration aspects, especially when avoiding hints, but find the puzzles simplistic and the overall experience lacking in depth and content. Despite its visual appeal, the gameplay often feels disconnected from the narrative, leaving some players wanting more complexity and engagement.

    • “Although the basic interface and gameplay is the same as most hidden object games, I found the grimoire and mortar system for recipes/potions and the magic system to be a refreshing change from the usual fare.”
    • “Gameplay is fun and challenging, with lots of stuff to do and explore.”
    • “The main meat of the gameplay is the hidden object scenes, where you have to clear out a small list of items from a messy scene, which ultimately rewards you with keys or ingredients you need.”
    • “The gameplay, however, is subpar.”
    • “There are some puzzles too, but they are usually very short and very easy, and the exploration is a little too straightforward to be called gameplay.”
    • “Its pretty, but the gameplay just doesn't work with the story.”
  • graphics16 mentions

    The graphics in the game are generally well-received, showcasing a consistent and detailed art style that enhances the atmosphere, particularly in hidden object scenes.

    • “The artwork was lovely, though some of the objects were hard to find based on the description.”
    • “Compared to other hidden object adventure games, this one felt slightly different, especially in terms of the graphics, but I don’t know if that’s due to the game's age.”
    • “Graphics make the objects hard to find at times.”
    • “But otherwise, graphics are correct, soundtrack is correct and while you're in the end always doing voodoo dolls to free people, you're acquiring spells that help you to advance (and there, you have suddenly hints for when to use them).”
