Lucid Games's Jacob Jones and the Bigfoot Mystery: Episode 1 is a colourful 3D adventure title in which you take on the role of a young whippersnapper called Jacob.

You're Camp Eagle Feathers's newest brave, and your aim is to remove the shroud of mystery that surrounds your new home, and uncover the many secrets that it houses.

This involves solving puzzles, and interacting with all manner of creatures and critters, including talking foxes, celebrity-obsessed barmaids, and dim-witted hunters.

No change here

At review, we gave the PS Vita version of Jacob Jones and the Bigfoot Mystery: Episode 1 a slightly shiny Bronze Award, but noted that "it just needs more substance in its puzzles" to back up its style.

You can download Jacob Jones and the Bigfoot Mystery: Episode 1 from the App Store right now as a Universal app for £1.99 / $2.99.
