Our take on Voodoo Detective
Rather than using combat or exploration systems as its main structure, the game places a supernatural detective case at the center of a comedic noir adventure. Its island setting also mixes Voodoo culture, tourism, chain stores, and colonial corruption instead of a conventional crime-fiction backdrop.
What is Voodoo Detective?
Voodoo Detective is a hand-drawn point-and-click adventure set on Zo Wanga Isle, where Voodoo culture, chain stores, tourism, and colonial corruption collide.
Players follow a detective investigating a mysterious woman with no past while confronting an evil linked to the island. The game combines noir detective fiction with comedy, whimsy, and supernatural themes. Its presentation includes illustrated backgrounds, animations, a high-definition interface, voiced performances, and a live-instrument soundtrack composed by Peter McConnell.
