Allow the CGG Cursed Fates: The Headless Horseman Walkthrough to be your guide as you fight against a sinister legend to solve the mystery behind three grisly murders.

GameZebo: The story of the Headless Horseman goes back to the Middle Ages, but most of us are familiar with the 19th century version penned by American author Washington Irving. Fenomen Games' new hidden object adventure Cursed Fates: Headless Horseman embraces this 1820 rendition, as well as certain aspects of director Tim Burton's 1999 film, Sleepy Hollow. The result is an imperfect, narratively-muddled game that, despite its various issues, offers up some reasonably spooky fun.
In Cursed Fates: The Headless Horseman, you play the role of Constable Crane, a lawman who is convinced modern scientific techniques should be used to convict criminals, not questionable testimony and medieval torture. Given permission to test this new method, you head off to the small town of Sleepy Hollow, where three people have been beheaded under very mysterious circumstances. Faced with a grisly legend and a potential supernatural murderer, it’ll take all your courage to face the dark truth of what’s really going on in this haunted little town.
DHGF: Cursed Fates: The Headless Horseman is pretty much your average hidden object game. It controls well enough, has a good variety of puzzles, and has some decent bonuses for picking up the collector’s edition. There are they typical issues of a lack of replayability, vague terms, and lackluster story, but it’s all forgivable for a diehard fan of the genre. So long as you’re not expecting a faithful retelling of the The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, you’ll likely find this game a decent way to kill time.
