June's Journey update debuts spooky new look for Halloween
'tis the season
- June's Journey, the hit hidden-object game from Wooga, is set to debut a new seasonal look
- Orchid Island is getting a spooky makeover, complete with pumpkins and gravestones
- The Spooky Surprises event will also see plenty of new spine-tingling shenanigans
June's Journey, Wooga's flagship hidden-object game, is set to debut a brand new, festive look. The Hocus Pocus island decoration set is suitably named for the abundance of witchy decorations, ghosts, fog, gravestones and more to fit the spooky season. A new Shrub Gifting event taking place during the month will also give players the chance to interact even more with their friends.
Set in the 1920s, June's Journey has reportedly ended up being the predominant hidden-object game, with over 60% of market share. This basically means if someone plays a game like this on mobile, more likely than not it's June's Journey.
No surprise then that Wooga is quick to get out there with some suitably creepy decorations and new happenings for the season. You can check out the trailer below to see some highlights, and if like me you have a fond memory of isometric games like the old Cossack's series, June's Journey will give you a plentiful hit of nostalgia.
The hidden-object genre is one of those that has sadly receded in popularity a bit. However, it's still impressive Wooga has managed to gain such dominance, especially considering how long June's Journey has been available. I actually got the chance to chat with folks from Wooga last year about it and found that there's a surprising amount of work that goes into keeping the game fresh. Little surprise then that Halloween sees new additions.
