The game is almost fully voiced and the voice actors they got for this game are fine. In terms of sound design this game is okay. ItвЂ™s nice that youвЂ™re actually given the option though, and that the game is able to run at a native 4:3 aspect ratio, something thatвЂ™s really not a given with old games released on steam. You can chose to play without the black bars and with a stretched image, but that looks worse. This is what the steam release looks like. That said thereвЂ™s some neat looking areas in Voodoo kid, and the artist clearly had some imagination.ДЄs you can see from the screenshots there are large black bars on the sides of the screen, and the game is in a window. Even for 1997 itвЂ™s not amazing, this was after all the same year that we got games like Curse of Monkey Island and Riven, and Voodoo Kid does not hold a candle to those, let alone more modern games. The game uses pre-rendered 3D backgrounds and objects that were most likely made for a 640Г—480 resolution, so everything looks a bit grainy by modern standards.

The games writing are in a similar situation to the story, itвЂ™s fine for what it is, and itвЂ™s not groan-worthy, but itвЂ™s really nothing special. The story is fine for what it is, but itвЂ™s not very memorable or interesting. ItвЂ™s a pretty light-hearted horror-ish themed childrenвЂ™s story, that has more silly than scary elements to it. ThatвЂ™s really the extent of the story in this game. The rest of the crew are all undead, or just plain dead, and the ship is heading towards the Island of Lost Souls, that is unless you can change its course and get rid of the evil captain. Voodoo Kid takes place on the pirate ship owned by the zombie pirate Baron Saturday (not related to LeChuck), a ship where youвЂ™re the only one whoвЂ™s still among the living. A world of zombie pirates and sea monsters. What they donвЂ™t know is that theyвЂ™re actually reading a cursed book, which threatens to trap them in another world, and as they fall asleep they find themselves drawn into the world of the book. This is the kind of humor you can expect in Voodoo kid Story & SettingДЄ young boy or girl (you get to chose) is reading a terribly boring book before going to sleep.
