It plays close to the traditional adventure gaming style of the late 1990s and early ots, doing away with the overburdened inventory and convolution in favor of a way simpler puzzle design that gives you a number of options to try out and sometimes involves combining one item with the other and using those somewhere in the map.īone Town is somewhat of a small location, so that helps keep things contained and not too confusing, so there’s never really a time you’ll get anywhere near stuck as you would be in an adventure game of old, so props to the devs for avoiding falling into that trap and not sticking so close to the formula. Stick to the plan!įor as straight to the point and on the easy side that Willy Morgan and the Curse of Bone Town might tend to be, it’s an enjoyable time. The game doesn’t outstay its welcome in that regard: it provides a logical and admittedly tad too linear path to follow all the way to its conclusion, closing off the story at around three hours. When Willy gets there, it doesn’t take too long for things to get going, and for clues in regards to a certain pirate treasure to start popping up as you begin finding pieces of a map that are scattered all over Bone Town and how they relate to the dreaded Captain Kidd’s fortune. On the anniversary of the disappearance, he receives a letter written by his dad, urging him to head to Bone Town, a rundown resort spot on the city outskirts. Willy Morgan and the Curse of Bone Town tells the story of an incredibly curious and resourceful teenager by the name of Willy, who lost his father ten years ago under mysterious circumstances. Well, good things come to those who wait, and I finally got the opportunity to play through the entirety of what will be released on the 11th. I came out hopeful for the final release and wondering how the easygoing early portions that I played then would carry to the full game. Last month, I had the chance of playing a preview version of Italian studio Imaginarylab’s Willy Morgan and the Curse of Bone Town, an adventure game very much in the vein of old LucasArts games.
