Our take on Evil Pumpkin: The Lost Halloween
The bounce point arrives for players who expect a combat loop: progression centers on searching, item manipulation, puzzles, and mini-games rather than fighting. Those who dislike switching between point-and-click and hidden-object formats may also stall at the mode choice before the investigation begins.
