Voodoo Detective

I loved the graphic adventure games of the 90's/00"s. If you loved games like Monkey Island, you will love this. This game has great graphics. It is full of humor reminiscent of the LucasArts games. The voice acting is top notch. I can't say enough about this game. I'm actually not even done playing it, yet, and I had to write a review. That's how much I love this game. The storyline is compelling. And there are hints built into the game, in the sense that if you pay attention to what the characters say, especially the detective (and you can click on him to hear his thoughts anytime), and you can put two and two together, you'll do fine. I still google for hints, because I have low frustraton tolerance and after a while I just MUST know. But here's a tip: just google a specific question, like "how do I do such-and-such in Voodoo Detective" and look at the AI generated answer, instead of just trying to look at a walkthrough website, because you'll accidentally see more than you wanted. Just one little hint and you can be on your way using your brain to figure out the rest of it. The first thing I'm going to do after playing this game is look to see if this developer has more point-and-click games. And I will download and play all of them. And if they don't, I will hope they read this and keep making more games. This is such an awesome game. I can't wait to replay it in a few months once I've forgotten enough of it, lol.

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.

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!
