Willy Morgan and the Curse of Bone Town Reviews

Got bored and uninterested pretty fast. One of those games i will never finish.

Very short and simple. Don't buy for full price!

The concept art is nothing like the gameplay art. The models and animations are detailed, but offputting. The voice acting (at least for the English; can't speak to the others) is so much on the lower end of mediocre that it tipped the balance for me. What was just kind of an okay game became actively annoying in that the writing is fairly decent but the delivery didn't seem to understand what the writer was going for. The puzzles are decent, but having to wait five million years for Willy to schlep across the screen every time is exhausting. In theory, double clicking the travel arrows should enable instant travel according to the tutorial, but that function never once worked for me. Yeah sorry the biggest problem for me will continue to be how astoundingly ugly Willy's face is. And I gotta keep looking at it throughout the game. It wasn't awful enough for me to quit the game before finishing it, but I'll be quite happy never to play again.

pros ✅ stunning looking and detailed pre-rendered 3D graphics ✅ nice little story about a teenager searching for his lost archaeologist father and a legendary pirate's treasure ✅ character models and cutscenes looks decent ✅ when you press the space button, hotspots are highlighted, so there is no need to pixelhunt ✅ fun to solve and enjoyable puzzles with typical old-school adventure game-style solutions. there are also inventory puzzles you can combine some items ✅ lively background music perfectly fits the game's general atmosphere ✅ there is a nice variety of interesting and likeable side characters ✅ decent voice acting ✅ there is a quick travel map, which prevents some backtracking ✅ there are steam achievements ✅ there is auto and manual save ✅ there is a tutorial in the beginning cons ❌ game is short ❌ there are no cards ❌ the rushed and unsatisfying ending gives the impression that the story hasn't concluded yet and leaves room for a potential sequel ❌ the game is overpriced considering its short length and full price. Just buy it on sale. Overall, this is an decent and enjoyable point and click puzzle game.

I'm rating this more as mixed. Because the game isn't good, but it isn't terrible...... It's just childishly dumb and easy. I don't hate the game, in fact I'm very neutral on it, but at the same time I honestly don't have much good to say about it. If my friends asked me about this game, I'd tell them to avoid it. Unless it was super cheap 2$ or less on sale. I debated getting a refund, and I wish I had. I gave the game a chance because I thought it would get better.... it did not. I got the game because it seemed right up my alley, and a lot of people gave it a good review, even some friends and curators I follow. [h3]It's a very short game for 20$, definitely recommend it on a huge sale. I finished it in a little under 2 hours (1h 52m) with 100% achievements.[/h3] If you're wanting a super simple game, with extremely easy puzzles and with easy achievements then this is it, you just have to click on a lot of stuff during your game play, the rest of the achievements are for solving puzzles really. [h3]If you're expecting a game with grand adventures, this is NOT it.[/h3] The game does have some pretty graphics, but that's all it has going for it. This game comes off as being made more for children or young teens (7-12), the puzzles are simple and really easy to do. I think you play as an older teen or young adult, and honestly it felt like I was playing as a kid the whole time. Willy's voice sounds like AI and I genuinely thought it was AI... but looking at IMDB it's an actual voice actor..... The voice is mono tone, it's the same throughout the game, just sounds emotionless and uncaring. There's quite a few minor characters you barely interact with, which is also kind of boring. [h3]This game is tagged as funny.......[/h3] I had a few laughs at how absurd this game is, even the story line is really quite silly. You do a lot of back tracking and going back and forth, but you have a map for fast travel which makes game play go by faster. The story was just.... horrible, but honestly it would make more sense for kids or young teens playing this. You play as Willy, on an adventure to find out what happened to his dad who has been missing for 10 years. The game takes place in 3 areas, 2 of the areas you're barely in, while 1 of the areas (a town) is the main area for the game. All's I can say is, if you get this game, don't expect much at all, even the ending is kind of happy, it is rushed and really under whelming.
