Voodoo Whisperer Curse of a Legend

An interesting HOG game with occasionally difficult HOG scenes. Feels like every HOG but with a bit more of an adventure game feel at rare times. Overall, an enjoyable experience, though the non-ending (to be continued) and lack of a sequel are a bit disappointing since this HOG felt a tiny bit different. Oh, the MC's face and walking animation feel like a decade older in style compared to the rest of of the game. Kind of nightmare fuel in a way. Very short overall, but according to what I've seen in other Steam discussions, the shortness and cause for the sudden ending was lack of funds or time, and the developer parted ways with the publisher after, so no sequel.

[h1]Summary[/h1] A decent but old hidden object game done well with an unfortunate unfinished cliffhanger ending. [b]Pros[/b] + Good gameplay + Decent story [b]Cons[/b] - Cliffhanger [h1]Overview[/h1] Voodoo Whisperer Curse of a Legend is a decent but old hidden object game with good setting, map exploration, hidden object areas, and puzzles to solve. There is voice overs which are done well enough but unfortunately its only done during the opening scene. It has an interesting enough setting and storyline that explains the motivations of Lillian to keep you going but it isn't anything unique. At this point the game is showing its age but as long as you focus on the gameplay it isn't too bad. The real issue with the game is how abruptly the story ends and you're left with a cliffhanger. [b]Gameplay[/b] The gameplay is nothing new or unique in the genre although it is done well. Map exploration is quite important and you don't simply pass through areas without checking key points, some have importance such as items or shows that you may need to backtrack there at a later time. Hidden object zones aren't the toughest as items don't simply blend together so carefully combing through things will net you the items you need to find easily. The puzzles you need to solve are also not too difficult and most are self explanatory. The only part that could get rather confusing I would say is the combining of items, creation of voodoo dolls, and the use of spells. There are places you'd think the spell could be used but you wouldn't be able to or there is something you would need to do first before casting it. [hr][/hr] [b]Further digging brings up that the game was cut in half and there is doubtfully going to be a continuation as the original developers has parted ways with developing company Gogii Games.[/b] If you find my reviews useful do follow my [b][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/11028547-Dods-Echo-Chamber/]Curator[/url][/b] page for more!

This game has a tendency to not track and it floats all over the place

Well it a mixed bag, visually is really good, more realistic than most hog games but there is no support for wide screen, low resolution, some hog scenes are hard and tedious, items you have to find could be on the edge of the screen barley visible or everything is in so similar tone that it is very hard to find anything, you even have magnifying glass to make it little bit easier but still it is tedious and frustrating. Some puzzles are also to tedious, like when you have ripped piece of plain paper and you can rotate every piece, no details just clean paper. And on top of that there is almost no voice overs, cut scenes are stiff garbage, there are only tiny little bits of story and game is cut in the middle, no ending, feel like developers run out of time and money and call it done.

It ends with a sequel??? Where is it then?

awesome game

The Hidden Object screens are a bit obnoxious - some things you have to find are almost completely hidden behind other objects to the point where you can't tell what it is. Not many puzzles mostly just item collection but it kept me entertained. Shame it's TBC though

Das Spiel macht viel Spaß. Es hat eine schöne Atmosphäre in einem frühen New Orleans-Setting. Ich finde es gut, dass Voodoo in dem Spiel nicht als die ultimative schwarze und böse Magie dargestellt wird, wie man es in manch anderen ähnlichen Settings immer wieder vorfindet. Die Spielemechaniken sind durchgehend gut. Die Grafik ist sehr realistisch gehalten. Es ist ein solides, nicht zu schweres HOG mit wenigen simplen Rätseln. Das einzige Manko ist der Cliffhanger am Ende... Ich hoffe sehr, dass eine Fortsetzung kommt!
