While this looks like I game I would definitely give a shot. Other than the setting, it doesn’t really seem “Monkey Island-like” at all. Although with that title I hope there are some serious “The Haunted Mansion” themes.

Agree. There’s more to my interpretation of “Monkey Island-like” than being point & click:

  • Cartoonish style <– They seem to have a similar art style, I’ll give them that.
  • Absurd humor
  • Pirate themed
  • Satirical
  • Undead
  • Voodoo

Following the articles logic, I would say that Minecraft or Skyrim is Quake-like, seeing as they’re both first person view.

Further down in the linked article it instead calls it “Monkey Island-inspired” and that’s probably a much better description to have in the title.

I’ll always welcome more point-and-click games like this. We don’t get anywhere near enough of them these days.
