Basic Description

Welcome! I am Edward Blackgate, proprietor of Everlasting Life. It is my pleasure to introduce you to the charming residents of my funerary amusement park. They have all been interred by invitation only, as they each have a story to tell. It is a true privilege that they have summoned you to assist them on their journey. Deadtime Stories will thrill hidden object fans but the story is not for the faint of heart. Hidden object fans with a fear of all things creepy are going to find themselves forced to make a tough choice. Deadtime Stories is a marvelous, challenging stunner of a game, but its voodoo-rich story is almost sure to send a chill down your spine. Do not expect to hear Jessie Bodeen's tale and emerge unscathed. Jessie is just one of the residents of Edward Blackgate's special cemetery waiting to share her story. A rich white woman hires voodoo queen Jessie to cast a curse on her rival, to keep her out of that season's parties. At first, Jessie refuses - such magic is evil - but eventually can't refuse the princely sum of $150 for her efforts. You'll have to follow Jessie's path yourself to learn the rest, traveling throughout New Orleans, learning voodoo spells, and communing with spirits. Deadtime Stories is a well-balanced blend of hidden object searches and adventure game style puzzle solving. Each level is structured generally the same: You must gather ingredients necessary for creating one of the potions in Jessie's book of voodoo, then use the potion to learn the next part of her story. You'll come across some of the requisite items during the hidden object levels, which you'll revisit several times over the course of the game. Some of the things you have to find are pretty gruesome - no great surprise, given that you're in the heart of voodoo territory!
