This is an excellent example of an SE game. No bells and whistles, but a great story and very interesting execution.

You are the son of your father who dies upon your birth due to an old curse. Your father's letter encourages you to figure out how to break the curse, so it doesn't happen to you also. You need to make a voodoo doll to help break the curse, by finding about 7 different pieces of ...Show more

This is an excellent example of an SE game. No bells and whistles, but a great story and very interesting execution.

You are the son of your father who dies upon your birth due to an old curse. Your father's letter encourages you to figure out how to break the curse, so it doesn't happen to you also. You need to make a voodoo doll to help break the curse, by finding about 7 different pieces of the doll and then assembling it. The clever part of this game is the multiple pieces required for completing the spell, using the altar to transport to your grandfather's farm. Evidently, the spell didn't affect your grandfather? Anyway, the puzzles are clever -- like assembling a key that you use in multiple locations.

There is no map, but I didn't need one so far. I only wish the inventory would lock open. However, when you click on an item, like a candle, it shows you what you need to move forward -- like a match to light the candle. When you accomplish something significant, like performing the spell to open the altar portals, you hear the beginning bars of the old "Mission Impossible" theme song!

I don't usually go for SE only games, but this one is very cool as well as creative! Show less

I recommend this game!

This little game appeared to be a gem! I played it on Windows 8.1 and it played smoothly. You have to really search for objects, but that was fun! I also enjoyed the storyline. Very nice to help lifting a curse that affected generations. Good work devs! I enjoyed every minute of this game and I'm looking forward to a next!

I recommend this game!

I played it nearly nonstop - did housework when the guilt factor played its nasty hand - and my roommate even jumped in. He NEVER plays these games.

I strongly recommend this one to everybody. Shoulda' been a Collector's Edition. TELL THE DEV WE WANT MORE!

I recommend this game!

Great game, not your usual hunt and peck, has a bit of everything and then some. As usual I enjoy a "thinking man's game" - even though I am a woman. This is one of those games that is different and I had fun playing it. Give it a shot.

I recommend this game!

Generally, I love collector Editions because they are better constructed, fun to play, great graphics and wonderful story line. Warlock matches the Collector Editions in every way. I loved the game, the graphics, the story line, the transitions between points were easy and the whole thing is first class. I highly recommend this game.

An older 2010 game of which I definitely appreciate versus the newer razzamatazz and often either boring or predictable games of today. Stands on it's own merit minus the sparkle with an eerie atmosphere and super hand-drawn artwork. Game starts out slow to get accustomed to the pace and the developers' rhythm--like re-learning an old dance style.

An older 2010 game of which I definitely appreciate versus the newer razzamatazz and often either boring or predictable games of today. Stands on it's own merit minus the sparkle with an eerie atmosphere and super hand-drawn artwork. Game starts out slow to get accustomed to the pace and the developers' rhythm--like re-learning an old dance style.

Plays like an adventure game with just enough hidden objects and puzzles ranging from easy to challenging. Scenes and HOS are playable, yet with a darker background which lends believability to the ominous plot.

The men in your family including you are CURSED with an untimely short life and you have little time left to try and dig back into your ancestry to end this generational curse.

Hint is very helpful and with some running as no map. Nothing tedious. A relaxing and immersive storyline that has never been told before. Some, yet, not many keys to find--which usually drives me bonkers.

Thoroughly enjoyed this older game. Thank you Devs and BFG. Enjoy! Mama Mia Show less

An excellent example of a game that shows how good it can be it the developers spend time in planning a good game as opposed to throwing a lot of bling at you. This seems like an old fashioned FROG, but it is so well done you can't stop playing.

An excellent example of a game that shows how good it can be it the developers spend time in planning a good game as opposed to throwing a lot of bling at you. This seems like an old fashioned FROG, but it is so well done you can't stop playing. Everything keeps you interested with just the right level of challenge - nothing is really too hard to find, yet nothing is too easy - it's just a great game. It's wonderful to find something different. I kept thinking, am I back in 2011? But this game is so good!! I finally stopped playing because it was 4 am and I had to get up in the am. Each level is nicely intricate and clear. I was happily surprised - I highly recommend this little gem. Show less

OLDER GAME. A gentle, relaxing game with lots and lots of outdoors and beauty, farmland, lakes, trees, log cabins, woods, and rivers. Summon deceased relatives who lived during different times to find out WHO in your family got cursed, and WHY, because it is affecting you to the present day!

OLDER GAME. A gentle, relaxing game with lots and lots of outdoors and beauty, farmland, lakes, trees, log cabins, woods, and rivers. Summon deceased relatives who lived during different times to find out WHO in your family got cursed, and WHY, because it is affecting you to the present day!

The first opening scenes are not a good representative of what you get in this game. What follows are BEAUTIFUL and gorgeous farm lands on a lake, then a cemetery in the wilderness, then woodland and river. But you should know straight away that this game does not have pin-sharp graphics if that’s what you are looking for.
The sheds, cabins and homes look authentic; you can really believe someone lives there.
This game was so much fun to play for me. The style of the gameplay is very different and enjoyable because of the gentle pace.

GRAPHICS: Edges are not pin sharp. Select “High Quality” from options if possible because enhanced lighting effects give the game a nicer, cozier look. Looked better on my computer full screen, but widescreen option was available.
HOPS: Wordlists, but a few are hidden sometimes. You should know that with the hidden items, the mouse pointer does not change in any way to indicate their presence. So you must click on things where you guess it might be logically hidden OR use the Hint. Hint recharges in 45 seconds
PUZZLES: I think there were almost as many as the HOPS. Mixed bag.
SOUNDS: Music and Sound. The sound has all the appropriate sounds you would expect in the wilds, and also that accompany your actions.
HINT: 45 second interval. The hint WILL LEAD and circle items for you. Sometimes though, it just gives directional arrow options.
DIFFICULTY LEVELS:
MAP: NONE
INVENTORY: NOT lockable
JOURNAL: YES
CHARACTERS: Your paternal line of past relatives. No voice-overs, no character movement apart from appearing to you. You read.

Enjoyed it very much! Show less

I recommend this game!
