Campfire Legends: The Hookman Review

The girls on a fun outdoor outing are sitting around the campfire telling scary stories late at night. One of the girls starts telling the tale of The Hookman....  Christine’s parents’ cabin deep in the forest will make a romantic weekend getaway for her and her boyfriend. Christine arrives at the destination first to find that all is not well at the cottage. Just trying to enter is presenting an obstacle for her.

Campfire Legends: The Hookman is a interactive hidden object game with the story slowly unraveling as you proceed with the play. You must find the key to enter the cabin. The screen may be larger than what is presently there. The arrow on the right will let you know that you can scan to the right to see the entire room. You must search for fireflies for hints. You may need to go to different sites to collect all the needed items. The side games are all integrated into thestory line. You may need to collect fuses to turn the lights on. Once you find all the fuses, you must correctly place them in the box. Once you are in the cabin, you find that someone has been in the house and has scattered all your belongings everywhere. Anything broken must be fixed by finding the necessary tools and parts. Once you have fixed the radio, you hear that there is a killer loose in your vicinity: The Hookman Killer.

All of a sudden there is an ominous shadow of a man in the doorway, but before you can scream, you find out it’s Patrick, the boyfriend. He reassures Christine and tells her to wait in the car while he searches the home for anyone. In the messy car you search through his garbage only to find a medical file…

I won’t go any further in the story since that’s 50% of the fun in this hidden object play full of tasks and mini puzzles. This game is so interesting you get confused whether you or Christine is the person in danger. This is a good campfire story to tell to people sitting in the dark night. It’s also a little scary for young kids to play because there are moments of surprise. The graphics and eerie sound effects are great, and the story very engaging. Sometimes the extra tasks slowed down the story line due to the intricate pieces you may need to find before anything else can happen, but don’t let that stop you from enjoying this mysterious and scary game.
