Ghost Towns: The Cats of Ulthar is a hidden object adventure game about a girl, a boy named Menes, and lots and lots of cats. As a matter of fact, if you are tired of the same old hidden object stories about ghosts and monsters lurking in dark scenes, this game provides a cuter but still as sinister alternative - cats. Well, I have to say upfront that I am not a big fan of cats as they annoy the hell out of me, but in the name of professionalism, I will try to be less biased in this review.
You play as a long black haired girl in this game as you stumbled across a town named Ulthar. For some unknown reason, you soon discover that the townspeople are preparing to kill a boy named Menes. The nature of his crime eludes you but you are asked by his sister, Atala to save her brother, so it is now your burden to carry. In any case, the whole curiosity built in this scenario grips the player to find out more regarding this weird execution. And thus, starts the game with you finding clues and evidence to save Menes and find out why the townspeople's grudge is so great against him.
I did a bit of research about Ghost Towns: The Cats of Ulthar and it seems that Ulthar is actually a name of a fictional town in H. P. Lovecraft's Dream Cycle. Oh well, so much for originality, but I soon found out that there is good basis on why this game opt to copy the same name. That is because in Dream Cycle, the town of Ulthar has a most significant law that "no man may kill a cat". Now, I have a clue on why Menes is sentenced to death, but this is just my hunch as the game can also lead to twists with all the clues you find.
In terms of game play, Ghost Towns: The Cats of Ulthar follows a typical hidden object style. I liked the scenes as they are not as messy as other games but this also means that the game is not that challenging too. Graphics are well done. I liked how most of the scenes are made cartoon like and how they fused this with 3D generated moving elements. Music is pleasant but as I said earlier, I really dislike the cats meowing all throughout the game.
In conclusion, this is really a well made game that is worth your try. Plus points too if you like cats.
