Voodoo Chronicles:
The First Sign
Platform: Windows
Often when game designers try to throw everything but the kitchen sink into an adventure/hidden object hybrid, what you end up with is an incoherent mess. In the case of Voodoo Chronicles: The First Sign by Space Monkey Games, start with a hard-boiled detective film noir, cross it with a horror movie, add in elements of steampunk, and the result is a fantastic, glorious sprawling mess of a game that is very difficult to put down and harder still to walk away from.
This is not the story of New Orleans/Haiti religious group gone wrong. No indeed. The Voodoo in the title refers to the main character, a Chandleresque private detective named Voodoo. The game begins with a dark, horrifying tale of greed splashed out in an epic cut-scene of three characters committing dastardly deeds. The hero of the story, private investigator James Voodoo, receives a phone call about a mysterious break-in involving one of those characters, and suddenly you're off into a fantastical alternate universe America investigating murder, greed, magic, and a giant squid attacking the city. Can James Voodoo solve the multiple mysteries he is presented with before the city falls victim to this tenticular menace and save the day? That all depends on your puzzle-solving, hidden object finding, and wolf-bashing skills.
Gameplay is the standard adventure hybrid setup navigating your way through multiple areas. A changing cursor indicates places to check out, items to investigate, or various objects that can be picked up for later use. Depending upon the mode of play there are also glints of light to indicate hotspots and a cascade of question marks to highlight hidden object scenes. Clues as to what is going on are derived from notes, newspaper articles, conversations with a vast array of colorful characters, and the detective's handy notebook, which keeps track of not only what he's learned but keeps a nice running list of goals on helpful post-it notes within the pages. A refilling hint timer is nice, but what is even better are the little "spies" embedded within the game. Find them and you can rack up "instant" hints that don't need to refuel, and earn more by not skipping the mini-games!
Analysis: Voodoo Chronicles: The First Sign creates a stunning, fantastical roller-coaster ride of an adventure hybrid with memorable characters, astonishing scenery, breathtaking animations, and amazingly amusing gameplay. A nice blend of hidden object finding, puzzle solving psychedelia is the result of this imaginative blending.
The hidden object scenes are difficult, of the "shrink objects and put them in a dark shadow in the background" variety. The puzzles cover a wide range of familiar (pipe, gear, slider, etc.) and refreshingly new. Gameplay is broken into easy to manage chapters, so while there is a lot of wandering and backtracking within each area, the overall gameplay is refreshingly linear. Or as linear as you can get when jumping from the mean streets of the city to a wild zeppelin ride, then to a dark foreboding town with wolf problems and eventually to the acid-flashback-inducing end. Half the fun of Voodoo Chronicles is the amazing tonal shifts from chapter to chapter, as you're never quite sure which genre will leap to the forefront as the game progresses.
While the mish-mash of genres works surprisingly well within the structure of the game, there are a few downsides. The clickable areas to pick up hidden objects is occasionally tiny, making some of the hidden object scenes frustrating. The characters, while nominally American, all appear to have been imported from somewhere in Europe, what with all of the British, French, Italian, and generic Romanian villager accents flying around. Other minor annoyances include some dodgy grammar and strange item names in the hidden object finding lists.
Despite the flaws, Voodoo Chronicles: The First Sign is a gloriously loopy and beautiful ride through someone's imagination, although you can't help wonder if that imagination was fueled by, well, let's say a wide variety of pharmacopeia, shall we? A ton of fantastic gameplay awaits those who dare to solve the mystery and take a ride on the steampunk/noir wild side.

The cursor changes as you hover over items and areas.
A grasping hand indicates objects that can be collected and areas that require interaction.

Bottom Toolbar
The diary that sits at the left is your information tool and task list. Click on newspapers and other documents that can be found in the game to add information to the diary. If you are unsure of what to do next, the diary displays a task list, and as tasks are completed they are crossed out.
The inventory is generally hidden from view during game play. To access the inventory, hover your mouse at the bottom of the screen, and it will appear.
To use items from the inventory, click once on each item, then hover your mouse over the area where you wish to use objects and click again.
For puzzles, there is an Info icon and a Skip function. The Info button provides information on what is required in each puzzle.
The Skip function is only present for puzzles, and slowly charges.
The Hint Machine needs to be constructed early in the game. The tutorial, if you choose to use it, will help you to put it together.
Hints take the form of Small Spies. These little creatures with skull-like heads appear periodically throughout the game and will fade in and out. When you see a Small Spy, click on it to add hints to the Hint Machine.
Hints can also be gained through solving puzzles.
Hints can still be accessed even when the machine shows a 'zero' reading. Wait for the hint machine to charge to access one hint at a time.
Navigation
Directional arrows will appear when there is an area to move to.
The arrows show forward, back, right and left, but sometimes will also appear at odd angles; upper-right for example.
To move to another area, click on the directional arrows as they appear.
Hidden Object Games and Puzzles
Hidden Object Games initially appear as floating question-marks. Click in the question-marks to start a game.
Items as indicated in red-type are doubly hidden, meaning you need to interact with the environment in some way to locate that item.
The lists for each hidden-object game change every time you play.
The presence of a puzzle to be solved is indicated by a magnifying glass. If an extra item is needed to start the puzzle, moving gears will appear.
Whilst the puzzles are the same each time you play, the solutions for each vary a little.
For the purposes of this walkthrough, there are some screenshots that show an outcome for a puzzle but may not necessarily be the solution you need.
