Voodoo Detective

Nice puzzles with cool art/animations

It's a delightful point and click adventure game, with excellent writing, wicked humour, great voice acting, and fun puzzles that keep you amused entertained. Love it!

A very Scooby Doo looking and feeling game.

such a fun game!

Cute, loved the breaks in the fourth wall and the snide comments in dialogue. Not a difficult playthrough, the puzzles weren't hard, overall very enjoyable game to play.

Really great modern Point and Click Adventure game with hand drawn animation. Feels the older point and click games used to feel in some ways.

A very well-structured point-and-click with a deliriously cornball sense of humour, lovingly-crafted graphics and animation, and fun voice acting. It was clearly created with affection by people who understand the subject matter (and have an interesting position on how to render it in a film noir parody format). There are a couple of minor nitpicks with puzzle logic here and there, but the sheer fun and exuberance of the game more than compensate for it. Five stars for the climactic battle scene in particular.

Interesting plot, fun puzzles, good jokes

Voodoo Detective is an excellent modern Point & Click game. Its art direction, voiceover work, and cheek-laced writing are all superb. Fairly short, but it doesn't feel abridged. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for a P&C adventure/mystery.

Voodoo Detective is a delightful point and click with the influence of postcolonialism. What sets this point and click apart from other games of the same genre is how voodoo is used. Thinking about Monkey Island, we see how voodoo influences the gameplay and the narrative. Voodoo Detective is different in the sense that this element is the center of the game (as the title implies). Whether it is the gameplay, the story or the cultural context, you can't escape Voodoo. This game offers a deeper and more refined representation of Voodoo, making it an ideal product to explore this rich culture. As such, everything in this game is well made (gameplay, story etc.) but I also wish to express my satisfaction of the voice acting which has enhanced my immersion of this excellent game.
