The quirky point and click is almost a genre in itself, provoking many fond nostalgic sighs as people cast their minds back to the joys of titles like Grim Fandango and Monkey Island. Hoodwink is the latest game to try and squeeze itself into that small but often golden box, and comes to the world from a small Malaysian developer called E-One Studio.
At the moment exclusively distributed on EA’s Origin service, the game description boasts a flood of buzz words that seek to hook in potential buyers. Things in this game are not only quirky, but ingenious, vibrant, outrageous and absurdly dark. Is that so?
MWEB GameZone interviews E1 studio. Join them for a conversation about the Hoodwink series, Steam Greenlight and the significant influence the gaming community has on video game development.
Be interesting to see if the change from EA's Origin to Valve's Steam works out better for them.
Yip, interesting indeed, imho Origin is not a user friendly platform and doesn't come close to Steam
It should probably go better with the conversion as long as there no naked ladies in there, like the last game
Brash Games writes "Hoodwink is a stylish and sophisticated looking point-&-click adventure which unfortunately fails to deliver an involving or interesting experience. You find yourself navigating through a very short and limited world which becomes more frustrating as you attempt to get through Hoodwink".
