The plot of this game is fabulous. It consists of 10 game days. It was written by Jane Jensen, one of the most talented writers. The atmosphere is dark, mind-bending and detective of course. This game tells us lots of information about history and traditions of New Orleans and Voodoo. Characters are remarkably worked out. All conversations (they are very long.
