Mysteries of the Undead

Unfortunately frustrating bugs make this game hard to recommend, because it really does have a lot of things going for it! I love the cheesy zombie story and some of the lighthearted humor, and the music is pretty cool.

But we play these games for the hidden-object scenes, right? And these are badly borked. Too many times you get wrong object names (an umbrella is not a "cup", an accordion is not a "harmonica") and very often you have to click with extreme "precision", which actually doesn't seem to match what you see on the screen. It's just very annoying to be doing what you're supposed to do according to the game logic and then failing.

But if you're not as annoyed by these things as I am, and don't feel too bad hitting the "hint" button when you are, this is a little diamond-in-the-rough game that can be enjoyable.
