Nope, no VO's or woopdeedoo's, yet, Mexicana: Day of the Dead is a thoroughly entertaining game that stands on it's own and is truly the real deal [NO knock off here!] despite the low budget and FIRST impressions.
I am pretty certain I had done a beta test for this, yet the artwork and storyline was a bit different and to my eye, the graphics were a lot better in the original [no offense to the current art team, if, indeed different, just a matter of preference]. Despite the artwork... it IS, well, interesting [?] and sort of grows on you, and overall this game is SO much better than the usual, run of the mill... I wish it had the 'limelight' as tomorrow's game today, yet go figure.
The "Day of the Dead" [Spanish: Día de Muertos] is a Mexican holiday celebrated throughout Mexico [and world in other cultures]. It is a holiday for gathering family and friends to remember [and pray] for loved ones who have died.
Enjoy the small nuances [black bar commentary when scanning scenes, as an example] and then immerse yourself in a game that takes you on a journey that is NOT all darkness and dread. There is a whole lot of cultural accuracy applied to details within the game... this and the way the storyline draws you in [initially I was prepared to dislike this game!!].... definitely give it a whirl and try it for the WHOLE Demo [at least] before you decide. : )
So, bottomline: I am upping my star rating a bit due to it's originality.... again, LOVE the music, artwork, general originality in development of plotline... which is a [heavy adventure themed] HOPA &
....a definite buy for this Senora!
Enjoy & happy gaming! : ) Show less
I recommend this game!

They did a game like this before where you go to the realm of the dead, super fun and cute games! Lots of interesting, creative and original puzzles. A few HOS but interactive mostly.
The graphics are a bit cartoony, I love the artwork but would love to have them step it up with the graphics.
The story is fantastic, love the skull candy style. Wish they would up the graphics and make a CE

Although this game played better under Windows 8, it worked well enough in Windows 10 except for the times it would kick me out. Not to worry, as the game picked up right where it left off so it didn't set me back much. The graphics are gorgeous in detail, the music is authentic and the puzzles are interesting and doable. It was so much fun that I always play it through twice. The map is the most outstanding feature in this game. It is huge, 3D, and very involved. It is worth the price of the game itself just to try to figure it out. If you have a free game coupon or punch card code that's soon to expire, consider picking up this game if you can't find anything else to get. I don't think you'll consider it wasted but do demo it first to make sure it works on your computer. Show less

What kept me going was the music and, once into the action, I began to enjoy the gameplay. I was disappointed when the trial finished as had been drawn in.
It is not a 'classic' game to be kept forever and replayed, but it is entertaining, straightforward enough for novice players and definitely worth a fiver or a coupon if, like me, you are a HO addict currently experiencing a bit of a dearth of SE games.
Give it a try, stick with it and, like me, you may well enjoy it! Show less

Just the right game for me. Played in casual mode (usually play in expert). Many variations in hidden object scenes (love that). Puzzles are not so hard that you cannot solve them. Good overall story. Really enjoying.

Really, really enjoyed playing this game, Very thoughtful and different hidden object plays. Fun graphics, good music--a real adventure that wasn't based on the past. Designers put great care and work on the story. The ending was abrupt, I guess because I wanted to play more but I felt let down, like a book that doesn't end but you know a sequel is coming. So thanks Anawar, do more like this!
