Cursed

This is a casual point-and-click adventure, not a hidden-object game, though it does have a few simple puzzle mini-games.

Though I'm giving this game a thumbs down, it's not terrible. What is has going for it terrific high-resolution graphics, coupled with 3D animation that blend very well into the hand-drawn backgrounds. The graphics team deserves praise for this one.

However, they're let down by everything else. The point-and-click puzzles are either trivial or make little sense. The game engine is poorly programmed, missing or misplacing a lot of clicks, leading to extra frustration due to the obtuse nature of some of the puzzles. The storytelling is shallow and derivative, with poorly constructed characters. The voice acting is very bland.

Play this one only if you really want a visual treat and are willing to compromise on gameplay.

I would also like to thank the developer for supporting Linux.
