Fun characters, good story, graphics are dated obviously but stll good. Unlike other games from the genere you get to play with 3 characters that can, and have to, interact between them via menu to solve certain puzzles, each one of them have their missions in different places that help to solve the main conflict. Interactable elements are well blended in the scenaries; there are a lot of silly fun jokes in dialogs.

This is the 20 years aniversary edition.
The game tells the events that occur during the investigation of the main character to write a book based on a series of murders that are occurring in New Orleans, the “voodo murders” Poor Gabriel tormented in nigthmares, broken & running into a dangerous path that will make him to learn about his own past and the dark secrets from New Orleans underworld.
Excellent game, the plot is very good and engaging whit lovable characters, although predictable it doesn’t diminish the quality of the product. If you like point and click adventures this one is highly recommended; this version contain a graphic novel, but don’t read it until you have completed the game at least one time (reaching day 6 is the minimum progression recomended). You (Gabriel) can die several times in the game, like in the Black mirror games, so be cautious.

This ones have some original puzzles, it’s the classic HOG gameplay and i have to tell this the first game does an excellent job setting a dark atmosphere and a thrilling feel, but it all falls apart; at first the plot engage you but it fails to deliver, the writing seems amateurish-weak and the quick, short, poorly animated cutscenes didn’t help.
What i liked is that the games had me walking around with a lot of tools in the inventory (why i would left behind a very useful screwdriver or a hammer after one use, looking at you Artifex Mundy). Nonetheless as a whole the experience feels unsatisfactory.
I’m still have to play the last one of the trilogy but my expectations are very low as i have read that is the franchise’s worst game.

Silence is an experience and you have to live it, as the previous entry “The Whispered World” it’s beatiful, the plot and writing are amazing; i felt in love immediatly with the game and it’s characters.
