A small point-and-click Indie game from 2013 with an Afro-Caribbean setting. The story is ok and the game mechanics are fine as well. The art style stands out the most and is quite unique. Their inspiration from African heritage stands out quite well. The background Jazz score accompanies the game excellently and meshes well with the overall theme. The character animations and cut scenes are done well. As with any game of this genre, you will end up navigating the same places quite a lot of time, but that's a feature of this genre. The conversations with the NPCs provide quite the set of clues and it's good to pay attention to them. The puzzle solving element is good and is a bit varied too. There seems to be scope of achievements in terms of trying out certain combinations - but we still have trading cards. If I do have a gripe, it's just that getting all the free card drops in a single play might not be feasible. Otherwise, it's a fun way to spend your weekend. I do recommend getting and playing the other 2 parts for this game. - 7/10

This game is a real gem. At first I hestiated to get it, mainly cause the artstyle of the characters seemed curious to me, but as it was on sale for 12€ for all 3 chapters, I gave it a go. And what can I say, after playing it, I love the artstyle and I love the characters, especially Bwana & Kito. This game has such a charme and a really good vibe. The puzzles are all logical and not to hard, I never got frustrated. Just 1 times I got stuck a bit, I tried everything I could, just to find out that I've overseen an item, after checking a walkthrough. This game has no option for highlighting items, so that maybe the only con for me, but maybe I'm just spoiled from other games, and it's not really a problem. This first chapter is a bit short, but 2 & 3 are longer, and together they had the perfect lenght for a P&C adventure imo. Overall it's a really chraming game, and I had a really good time playing it. So can I recommend this game? Yes absolutely! And if you are hesitate about buying this game, just listen to Bwanas % Kitos wisdom... "Hey Bwana, you sure this is a good idea, man?" "No" "Let's do it!"

It's okay, it really shines in its theme the Afro Caribbean style especially its soundtrack. The story is well written and charming. It gives you just enough intrigue and mystery to hint at what’s coming in Episode 2, making it feel like the beginning of something much bigger. The characters, especially Bwana and Kito, are instantly likeable and carry the humour and heart of the game with ease.

Visually unique. An adventure game that I didn't really get into, but just because it wasn't for me doesn't mean it won't be for you.
