Unlike Carmen Sandiego, it's less about traveling all over the world and more about learning voodoo culture and it's origins. Actually manages to put in some educational value that fits into the story.They also aren't too frustrating and actually make sense while encouraging the player to think and solve them themselves. Lots of interesting and unique puzzles, some of which are optional and increase your overall game score, unlocking new things.Likeable characters, like Gabriel himself who's a witty and clever man who develops to be more serious and devoted to helping others over himself.There's plenty of legitimately funny moments as well which avoid being contrived or dumb, and become less frequent as the game goes on and becomes much darker.It has more graphic violence and a legitimately disturbing atmosphere that avoids being cheesy, largely due to the quality of the direction and voice acting. An actually interesting story that takes a much darker and more mature direction as the game progresses, with plenty of differences from most point-and-click games around the time.You can even do the same with Gabriel himself. Lots of different ways to interact with objects, like picking them up, using them, inspecting them, and even, in some cases, talking to them.Excellent graphics for its time, with gorgeous retro visuals that give I Have no Mouth and I Must Scream a run for its money.

Excellent voice acting for its time with each of them giving pretty great performances, which makes sense given the cast who are all still working in a lot of cartoons and the like nowadays.
