Not much of these are released these days, especially for IOS, so it’s a must buy. ### 4/5 — Nice little point and click *2024-11-30, version 0.0.31* Nice production. A bit short. Not too many interesting interactions scenarios or characters. Good entertainment to pass some time. Maybe a sequel is in order ### 5/5 — Buy it… *2024-08-20* Great game! Lots of fun…a bit on the shorter side, but still very worthy of 5 stars if you like a nice old fashioned point n’ click mystery. 🙌🏼🧐🕵️‍♂️ ### 5/5 — Too short for the price *2024-07-23* Really good game but too short and not enough puzzles for the price ### 5/5 — One of the best mobile games I've ever played *2024-05-07, version 0.0.31* Hands down the best detective game on the market. The art style is cartoony but also creepy to suit the theme of the game. The story keeps you hooked. I love the way we get to work out everything by ourselves. Please make another. ### 5/5 — What a kick *2024-03-31* It took a minute or two to figure out a few things in this game, but once I did, it was a lot of fun. I'm going to try it again with the different settings you can choose for the detective. Now that I know the basics, I know I'll enjoy the subtle nuances and get even more enjoyment out of it. ### 5/5 — A must for point and click lovers *2024-03-24, version 0.0.31* Great animation style and clever puzzles. And the voice acting was excellent. Really brought the characters alive. ### 4/5 — Good *2024-03-11* I love a good point and click. Carmen San Diego type vibes. This was super fun but no way of getting through it without a little help. Just some things were way too far fetched if you will. No way I would’ve thought to do certain things. Fun game still! ### 5/5 — 5 Stars *2024-01-06, version 0.0.31* One of the best adventure games I’ve ever played. And I play a lot of adventure games. It looks like a 90s Don Bluth animated film, the puzzles are logical, not easy, but logical once you get into the culture of New Ginen and the Voodoo Detective. You know an adventure game is good when you finish and say “that should be a movie or a streaming series or something.” This is that kind of game. ### 5/5 — Good fun *2023-12-28, version 0.0.31* If your used to these games it won’t take long but it’s good entertainment playing it ### 5/5 — Spirit guide needed in isle 5 for a hexing *2023-12-24* Adventure game, check. Fun game, check. Offbeat humor, check. Great backgrounds, check. Perfect music per scene, yep. Superb voiceovers, you get the gist. Sometimes tricky, sometimes really clever, sometimes just really cute. Talk about traversing and cursing. This is something Dr. John and Gregg Rolie would enjoy (sorry, you’ll have to do some research there.) ### 5/5 — Classic broken sword style P&C *2023-09-10* I loved this game. Gave me classic point and click feels. Good story, puzzles had a good mix. Just wish it was longer! ### 5/5 — One of the best! *2023-07-14* 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! ### 4/5 — Great game but disappointed it didn’t last longer *2023-06-28* Awesome game I love the story and the hand drawn graphics but for the price it should have been way longer, I’ve played free games that have been longer than this. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — So slow and boring *2023-01-02, version 0.0.29* For $13, this is a really boring game. I would not recommend this in any capacity. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Load Game *2022-05-31, version 0.0.25* Terrible experience! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t load *2022-05-27, version 0.0.24* Freezes on startup. I’m just looking at a telephone and a smudge stick in an ashtray for 15 minutes. I keep tapping on the screen or slide a finger or 2 across with hopes that something will happen. I tried reloading and starting a new game with the same results. ### 2/5 — Very pricey mediocre adventure game *2025-02-18, version 0.0.31* The story was mediocre. The puzzles were too hard & too easy. Overall not worth the $ ### 2/5 — Sound doesn’t work *2024-04-14, version 0.0.31* Can’t get sound to work. Other apps fine ### 2/5 — Good P &C Adventure *2022-06-11* But IMO too short for the amount of money.. Graphics were great, voice acting good, game ran smoothly, & it was original so I'm not sorry I bought it. I just think it could have been a little cheaper for a 2 hour game, I've have point & click games that lasted 5 hours & Cost 5$ but I know the price of everything id going up, anyway still a good game, hope to see more from these developers ### 3/5 — Geht so ! *2026-06-13, version 0.0.33* Rätsel zumeist viel zu einfach und ansonsten ganz nett aber nicht wirklich gut. ### 3/5 — Hoping for more. Also, weird racial undertones? *2025-08-16* 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. ### 3/5 — Wasn’t as good as I was expecting. *2025-03-20* I had my eye on this game for a while but wasn’t sure if I wanted to spend $15 on a mobile game. The other reviews convinced me. This isn’t a game where there are puzzles to solve, most of the gameplay is in the interactions you have with characters. The dialogue and wordplay is funny but I wished there was just more to the game. Other than the scene in the underworld and the final battle.. it just seemed way too easy. I guess if you’re looking for a casual chill game, that’s fine but I was hoping for something a bit more challenging and possibly longer too. It felt pretty short to me. ### 3/5 — Recht teuer *2024-06-03, version 0.0.31* Ein klassisches Point and Click Adventure, nicht schlecht, aber für den Preis (17,99) hätte ich mehr erwartet. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Glad to have played *2026-05-25, version 0.0.33* Great writing, acting and music. It’s a fun story. ### 5/5 — You have to play this game! *2026-03-19* 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. ### 5/5 — mega cool!! *2025-10-26, version 0.0.33* hat mich an die TKKG & Drei ??? Spiele erinnert! Echt schön gezeichnet und mit einer tollen Storyline. War auch perfekt für die Spooky Season um Halloween herum. ### 5/5 — Great point and click! *2025-10-16, version 0.0.33* Great characters, fun storyline, decent puzzles! Highly rec if you like games like Full Throttle, Monkey Island(s), Kathy Rain, etc. ### 5/5 — Surprenant *2025-10-05, version 0.0.33* Excellent et très prenant ! ### 5/5 — Great point and click game *2025-09-01, version 0.0.33* I loved this game so much! Really great story that hooks you in, and long enough that it feels well worth the money. ### 5/5 — Well worth the price *2025-08-12, version 0.0.33* Cant wait for more! ### 5/5 — Fantastic Game *2025-07-09, version 0.0.33* I loved this from start to finish. Brilliant story. Voice acting was excellent too. I would love to see more content come to the game in the future. ### 5/5 — Definitely a cool game *2025-06-28* Awesome point and click adventure! Had fun while also learning a bit about the voodoo culture. Animation/graphics are nice. Also, loveee the fact that you can have multiple outcomes to the game! 2 thumbs up Dev! ### 5/5 — Fun Game and Story *2025-06-17* Starts off a bit slow, then all of a sudden, you're locked into a compelling storylines with twists and turns. It's a choose your own adventure game, and I enjoyed the alternive stories. Fun! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
