A small point-and-click Indie game from 2013 with an Afro-Caribbean setting. The story is ok and the game mechanics are fine as well. The art style stands out the most and is quite unique. Their inspiration from African heritage stands out quite well. The background Jazz score accompanies the game excellently and meshes well with the overall theme. The character animations and cut scenes are done well. As with...

This game is a real gem. At first I hestiated to get it, mainly cause the artstyle of the characters seemed curious to me, but as it was on sale for 12€ for all 3 chapters, I gave it a go. And what can I say, after playing it, I love the artstyle and I love the characters, especially Bwana & Kito. This game has such a charme and a really good vibe. The puzzles are all logical and not to hard, I never got frustrated....

I've finished all three chapters and enjoyed them quite a bit. The story, music, and characters are all memorable. Puzzles make sense, and the humour is great. Recommended!

I still recall the original freeware game from 2010 or so, at the time it was a nice surprise to know it was getting a commercial remake. Of course the character design gets noticed first, with its inspiration from African wood sculptures and carvings, like puppets from a stop-motion production, on top of a lot of Afro-Caribbean elements, but after a while the noir atmosphere starts to get appreciated as well. The...

Quite good, and even better now with the reduced price. I love the graphics, I love the music, and the gameplay is decent classic adventure fair. And the story is quite good, but really seemed to only give you a hint at what you will discover in episode 2.

This title really surprised me with how well it was made. I came in having no expectations. I had bought the game as part of a bundle on indiegala, and was only really going to try it out while waiting for another (and much larger in size) game to download, and was frankly blown away right from the start. You start off in dire straights with your electricity having been shut off because you hadn't paid your bills...

This was a nice game to play, some really good humour and an interesting storyline - The art style and such are reminiscent of Grim Fandango but with a different cultural background. The voice acting is fairly good, although its thrown off a bit by the poor lip synching. Pros: Good humour reminiscent of Lucasarts adventure games Interesting characters and art style Gorgeous and atmospheric scenery Fairly intriguing...

I'll start off by saying that this isn't a bad game by any means. But... I can't recommend it. The first problem is the length. This game is about 2 hours long for the average player. It costs $9. It's a point-and-click adventure with no achievements, so there's no replayability. So... yeah, it's not exactly a lot of bang for your buck. The second problem is the visual design and animation, especially the latter. The...
