    While this looks like I game I would definitely give a shot. Other than the setting, it doesn’t really seem “Monkey Island-like” at all. Although with that title I hope there are some serious “The Haunted Mansion” themes.

      Agree. There’s more to my interpretation of “Monkey Island-like” than being point & click:

      • Cartoonish style <– They seem to have a similar art style, I’ll give them that.
      • Absurd humor
      • Pirate themed
      • Satirical
      • Undead
      • Voodoo

      Following the articles logic, I would say that Minecraft or Skyrim is Quake-like, seeing as they’re both first person view.

      Further down in the linked article it instead calls it “Monkey Island-inspired” and that’s probably a much better description to have in the title.

    I’ll always welcome more point-and-click games like this. We don’t get anywhere near enough of them these days.
