I am just over an hour in and if you like classic style 2D animated point and click adventures, you will likely be well pleased.

You play Murphy McCallan, auditor cum treasure hunter, newly arrived at Devil's Rock, a small island off the coast of Louisiana in 1933. That the taxi drops you off short of the town of Deadnettle and won't go any closer is probably not a good sign.

This is a colourful third person story driven piece of lavish animation. It looks good, sounds good and you can save at will. Puzzling so far has been inventory based, and not at all obtuse. Scenes can slide left and right, hints are available, and a map enables fast travel around the island. Double click to run, inventory ribbon appears top of screen in response to the mouse, hotspots indicate what you can do there.

Jolly hockeysticks so far.

Sounds good. Thanks flotsam (and Drac)!

Thanks so much for the first look, flotsam! Someone I know who played and finished this loved it. It's a long game too.

And thank you for your help, Drac.

Thanks very much flotsam, for that splendid review !!

I already bought the game and your info just ups my hopes that it IS a good game 😬
