The game’s art style is very colorful, even when dealing with a haunted school. Like many titles of its genre, each of its backgrounds is gorgeously detailed and filled with interesting things; they are not only pretty to look at, but they also tell the story of the world. Plenty of items in the world are 2D animated, giving a lot of life to an otherwise static image. And in some cases, objects will react to your clicking and start moving, particularly your titular amulet that you use all through your adventure. Some areas of the game come with an added layer when you dip into the otherworld; the effect is simple, a blue tint filter with some camera shake and spooky noises.
Yet it all comes together really well, making you feel like you are reaching between worlds. The game is fully voice-acted, immersing anyone in its story. Yet not only that, whenever you interact with a character they become a fully animated 3D model. There are even cutscenes where the full 3D renders interact with each other, making it almost like watching a movie. It’s hard to overstate the level of quality in play here. Most of these scenes are unlocked by helping the different ghosts, and their heavy stylization not only sets them apart from the rest of the game but also works at grabbing our attention.
