Sins of the Fathers is a point-and-click adventure game, played from a third-person perspective. While its story unfolds over a linear sequence of chapters - each covering the course of a day - which have a required set of actions that must be performed to make progress, gameplay is mostly non-linear and features additional optional actions that can be conducted, some of which provide further insight into the background of the story and its setting. The game takes place within a world where supernatural forces, both good and evil, have existed throughout human history, with any becoming a threat to humanity being combatted by people who specialize in fighting such powers. The story incorporates the mythology, history and background of voodoo - both the Americanized version found in Louisiana, and the West African version - mixing real elements with a fictionalized version that is central to the game's plot. Locations featured include the real-life city of New Orleans, United States, the fictional town of Rittersberg, Germany, and a fictional burial mound situated within Benin. What can I say about our king of the hill? Jane Jensen's first solo outing as designer, writer, and director is a timeless classic. The spectacularly moody color palette (opens in new tab). Beautifully shot cutscenes. Charming design details that showcase New Orleans' charm, from the performers in Jackson Square (that cursed mime) to the superstitious Madame Cazaunoux; the latter opens a brief window into the world of old French Creole culture and its ties to a particularly intense practice of Catholicism. The solid character development with just a sprinkle of cheese. And the most incredible voice cast of all the Sierra adventure games: Tim Curry's unforgettably bad (great) accent as Gabriel, Leah Remini as an extremely spicy Grace Nakimura, supported by Mark Hamill, Michael Dorn, Jim Cummings, Efrem Zimbalist Jr., Leilani Jones (of Monkey Island fame), and the legendary Virginia Capers (Grandma Hattie from The Fresh Prince, if you please) as narrator. Everything comes together seamlessly for a riveting experience—even when you're visiting Grandma Knight. The puzzles are engaging, the story runs deep, and while most of it is an admittedly sensationalized take on popular perceptions of voodoo culture, it's clear that Jensen put a terrific amount of care and research into her work. Before you call it overhyped, give it another whirl—it hasn't aged a day.
