Cadenza: The Kiss of Death Collector's Edition

An excellent HO game with lovely jazz music in the background. A bit on the short side, so buy during sales. I played both main game and bonus chapter in 5 hours and I'm not fast. The plot was good...can you stop the Black Widow from killing your fiance? Why is she after him? It was quite thrilling at times. In each scene you have to find a golden ticket..which were quite easy to find. Morphing objects in the HO scenes were much more difficult, but you have the option at the end of game to go back to replay those scenes. Graphics were excellent...quite stunning in parts. Music was gorgeous (if you like jazz). Voice acting was adequate. Gameplay was pretty easy. No bugs. Highly recommend. An excellent game for beginners to HO games. 8/10

Loved all the Cadenza games!! Hope there will be another release soon. The soundtrack is fabulous too!

Honestly – I haven’t played a HOG yet that is worth the full price. Advise whenever possible wish list and buy during a sale. STORY: Interesting – centered on New Orleans jazz scene shenanigans. Musical score is jazz centered and cool, cool cool. GRAPHICS: Nice, a step up from years gone by TRAVEL: Includes map that lists things to do or objectives to accomplish. Allows teleportation. MECHANICS: Typical HIDDEN OBJECT SCENES are not classic conventional a mix of require you to interact with various objects to obtain others, riddles, wood cuts etc. MINI-GAMES are at time simple and other challenging. BONUS FEATURES usual LENGTH: Depends on player – this is a good game for an afternoon/evening. ACHIEVEMENTS: if you’re a seeker there are plenty here. VOICE ACTING: For this genre it was pretty acceptable

💯

While I didn't like it as much as the other Cadenza game, this one is still superior to other HOGs. I also didn't get as much play time out of it as the other, either. That being said, like the first one, it has a very engaging story, interesting enough puzzles, and varied HO scenes. The music is GORGEOUS and so is the artwork. I highly recommend.

Every bit as good as the first Cadenza!
