Bellevue, WA May 24, 2022 -- It’s time to don your fedora and hone your hoodoo in Voodoo Detective, a story-rich 2D point-and-click adventure releasing today on PC and mobile (Steam, Epic, iOS, Android, macOS). Developed by Short Sleeve Studio, Voodoo Detective tells a noir-inspired tale that pays homage to classics like Monkey Island and King’s Quest.
The year is 1934, the place: New Ginen, an island paradise swimming in Voodoo culture, drowning in tourists. Your name is Voodoo Detective, a wise-cracking private investigator with a chip on your shoulder and a hole in your pocket. Your client is Mary Fontule, and when she walks through your door, she brings with her a mystery so profound it threatens to unravel the very fabric of existence!
“With Voodoo Detective, we invite you to escape to a whimsical world of magic, music, and mystery. It's a neo-noir with a Voodoo twist told through the time-honored tradition of pointing and clicking. Think of it like a delicious adventure hot dog where the meat is a rich story nestled in an oven fresh bun of satisfying puzzles and amusing dialogue.”
- Eric Fulton & Eric Ackerman
Voodoo Detective features include:
A thrilling saga of intrigue with a sense of humor and a full-bodied mouthfeel!
Beautiful hand-drawn backgrounds, animations, and user interface.
Xerox-era Disney inspired design for its
Prominent voice talent from such hits as Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Final Fantasy, Fallout, Diablo, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Star Trek, Austin Powers, and many more.
A breathtaking live soundtrack composed by none other than Peter McConnell of Grim Fandango, Monkey Island, and Psychonauts fame.
