Meet Lemuel Barnabas. He is not a protagonist in our story, but just look at him - he’s scrappy and funny, talks to himself, likes music and long walks behind the bar. In a word - he is quite mad, but as mad as he is, he’s the one you come to for help. Help? What happened? You didn’t hear? Apparently there is this thing called Halloween. I know, I know, it sounds stupid. But there’s candy involved! Now I have your attention. The city of Dern is ostracized from the Halloween community. Everyone around you seem to know something about it, but you’re a boy, nobody is going to tell you. In this step away from the classic HO gaming take things into your own hands and find out whatever happened to Halloween.

Mixed feelings about this one. The presentation is good, nice graphics and music, with tolerable voice acting and limited animation. The story is original and interesting, too. The areas are very interactive with hot zones that simply provide amusing commentary. There are also a lot of locations with very little backtracking. A nice little extra is that you can buy items to decorate a back yard with halloween items. However, this game contains extremely illogical puzzles that are almost unsolveable except by trial and error. On several occasions I simply had to use the hints button to progress and even then I remained stuck until I just tried everything on everything else to proceed. It also begins to suffer from bad translation errors near the end, possibly because playtesting didn't get as far as often? ("Watter pistol" etc.) What's worse, is that in some of the later hidden objec
This is one odd game. It's a casual adventure with a lot of puzzles and hidden object scenes, but it's certainly not meant for casual players. The 'hints' for the puzzles are riddles itself (like for example a three letter puzzle and the hint is 'what do I need?') and this makes the game really way harder than it should be. The adventure elements aren't really logical and involve a good amount of try and error which gets frustrating rather quick. The voice 'acting' is laughable and while the backgrounds look nice, the characters close-ups are bad. I could have abused the hint and skip function of the game to see the end, but I think I'd rather play a good game than this. If you like really obscure puzzles and unintuitive adventure elements give this one a try, but don't expect a casual adventure.
I would have to give this game a provisional "thumb up" due to the difficulty. This is not a game for the casual player, the easily and not so easily frustrated, or anyone who does not take notes while they play. This is a very difficult game to play. (Reminds me of Deponia.) This game has some very obscure references and reading the dialogue is extremely important. (Skip dialogue at your own risk.) More importantly is remembering some absurd remark or off-topic thought of some character a chapter or two later. The clues are there, masked behind riddles that in some cases are very, very oblique, referenced in the boy's journal, various diary pages, or in some dialogue remark earlier in the game. I would like to thank Micheal who posted his playthrough in the community videos, they were very helpful. (Oddly enough he and I never got stuck in the same place. Note: Micheal's playthroughs ar
Short version: 58% Evil Pumpkin is a seemingly harmless hidden object/puzzle game, but under the cartoonish surface hides a merciless entity with the sole aim of torturing any casual game fans… or even seasoned adventure game veterans. Long version: If I’d have to sum up Evil Pumpkin: The Lost Halloween in one word, I would choose ‘confusing’. It seems like an average hidden object game, but in reality it’s something made for the most hardcore puzzle game fanatics. Why? For example the hint system doesn’t give you clues or straight answers, it gives you riddles. The description of the puzzles are also written as riddles; sometimes you struggle to even find out what the aim of the puzzle is, let alone trying to come up with a solution. The story isn’t faring any better. It goes all over the place, things happen out of nowhere, lead nowhere, and suddenly you just find yourself watching
This was the most annoying P&C/HOG I ever played. The crappy translation and illogical puzzles will often lead you to a wrong solution, leaving you stuck. Poor voice acting and storytelling do not improve the game experience for sure. Avoid this product if you can.
That game had potential. The story is interesting though it would have been better to add more background, like how the father was involved back then. The graphics are also nice while the soundtrack... well, it's not really boring per se but it's not really varied. The puzzles and the hidden objects are really good. Yeah, good. When you understand them. The HOG aren't the problem here. Nope. While explaining the puzzles in riddles and poetry is a nice change, I wish that they were a little more... obvious. I'm maybe fluent in English but it doesn't mean that I can understand the puzzle. And... I was in Casual. The easiest difficulty. Yet, I had an hard time to pass the chapter 1. I was kinda lost at what I had to do... You're kinda let on your own: How could I know that I had to put that rotten sandwich in the garbage OUTSIDE when I was expecting a creative way to use it, like attract
