## Description

_Penny Dreadfuls: Sweeney Todd_ is a hidden object game with adventure
elements based on the famous Broadway musical of the same name, about a serial
killer barber and his baker girlfriend. Some of the songs are used on
cutscenes between each chapter. The player assumes the role of a police
officer investigating a series of murders in Victorian England.

The gameplay follows the standards of the point-and-click genre, where the
objective is to collect inventory objects scattered around the location, that
have to be dragged and dropped on specific portions of the scene to solve
puzzles or perform a necessary action. The cursor is context-sensitive,
changing into a grabbing hand when over one of the items, a pointing hand when
near one of the exit hotspots, a magnifying glass when hovering over a scenery
portion with a zoom view, and a set of gears when passing over a place that
needs one of the inventory objects. Each location is represented as a series
of connected rooms or screens, where the player must move and click on the
interactive portions. Some of the most important hotspots are highlighted with
sparkles.

The hidden object sections take place on separate screens cluttered with
assorted paraphernalia, where the goal is to find and click on all the items
listed at the bottom. The hint lantern shows the position of one of the
required objects, but takes some time to recharge after use. After finishing
the seek-and-find scene, the player receives a new inventory object. Mini-
games appear as well, where the player has to complete jigsaw puzzles, and
manipulate mechanisms to solve them. The mini-games can be optionally skipped
after a few minutes.
