Gawd, I wish I had realized back in the '90s that the Interactive Movie genre was doomed. I passed on games like this at the time and really wish I hadn't! The suspense and ambience is awesome, despite the technological challenges of the era. Can you imagine what a game like this would be like if it was made with the same intent today?
this is bringing back so many traumatic memories from playing this as a kid. Its not even at the bed pulling at her. Totally missed that the bottle fo booze was absinthe when i was a kid, found that amusing.
@xDucFloydx I think what's more messed up is that they didn't see the estate before they bought it and moved in, and that no one else bothered to do anything with all the furniture and decor strewn about.
@VitalSigns1 They explain all of that in the game. from what I remember, her husband is a freelance photographer and they got the house for a ridiculously cheap price(because the townsfolk know its history). thats why they move in without question.
This outscaries Resident Evil by a million. Which is quite some number. I recently saw a video posting "most scariest games ever.. " I would put this in a top 5.
@VitalSigns1 Welle if she have a good renewn for, and the photograph is one of the most greatest photographters of all time. I think they can have to money for. Sorry for my bad english.
Sign #1 your house may be haunted/cursed: it has a fortune teller in a main hallway. Clearly, they did not bring it with them... Nor did they actually look inside the house prior to moving in.
@VitalSigns1 they could be just renting :P and income =/= wealth. they could have family money, etc.. plus, the creepier a house is the harder it is to sell so often times they are sold/rented oit for pretty damn cheap. also if they have a bad history.
@VitalSigns1 Well, consider the house's history, IE, being the former residence of a magician who murdered all 5 of his wives. As for WHY they bought the spooky giant house alone on an island when there were surely plenty of more normal and practical houses for sale... Well, your guess is as good as mine.
eww adriene... if you liked that... it was blood, from a woman that's been there for a century... really, it's everything but tasty.. anyway.. does anyone know where the mus. sheets for the piano theme are??
iI had this game and my computer wasn't powerful enough to play it. Now I can live vicariously. Between the hunting for booze behind the bar and tasting those old, dirty pumps downstairs, I wonder if she was an alkie.
@VitalSigns1 Wealth and income are not the same thing. Kids with trust funds pretend to have professions, but they're really spending their inheritance. Is Paris Hilton really a fashion designer? No.
I would HATE that piano and Gypsy fortune teller. Just being in a place like that would creep me out. With that tune playing and that eerie looking device I'd be getting so frightened I'd want to smash them both!
omg i finally found the game.... i remember my bro playing this and i was like 5 or 6, i was so scared of it :O :O :O i still cant believe i finally found the game omg
Not to be a killjoy or anything like that but it's a bloody game! We usually play games to relax, have fun and leave the laws of reality behind for a short while so why are people throwing logic at something where logic is not needed? I know the human condition is to question things so my question is 'Why put walls in your imagination that don't need to be there?'
Bastards! They cut the scene where Tom Hanks turns up looking for the Zoltan machine only to find out a) the guy that owned the house is called Zoltan and b) Zoltans machine is just a cheap imitation of the real Zoltan machine. Damn censors... Tom goes berserk and Rapes Don and Adrianne. That is the real reason Don ends up so uptight.....

Not only is this game really scary and entertaining, but the actors can actually act.
@VitalSigns1 They explain all of that in the game. from what I remember, her husband is a freelance photographer and they got the house for a ridiculously cheap price(because the townsfolk know its history). thats why they move in without question.
@funkygamecritic It's for PC. Dos/ Windows 95. It was also released for Sega Saturn in Japan. You can get it off of GOG.com.
If I found a trap in my house and DARED going downstairs, I wouldn't go further seeing the "doors" are gates...
This outscaries Resident Evil by a million. Which is quite some number. I recently saw a video posting "most scariest games ever.. " I would put this in a top 5.
i remember being so freaked out by that fortune teller when i was a kid...
I remember having this back in the 90's
I'd say the house was going for "cheap" can't imagine why
@VitalSigns1
Suspension of disbelief is a wonderful thing, isn't it?
@funkygamecritic it's for the PC(7 cd's) i think it was released in 1992. it's an awesome game, i think its much better that Phantasmagoria 2.
Could you imagine playing this on the old AGI platform?
):3 silly idea, but I think it might be more intense and silly for 8 bit sprites xD
@VitalSigns1 Welle if she have a good renewn for, and the photograph is one of the most greatest photographters of all time.

Yeah, Adrienne, good wine...if only you knew [b]there's a body stuck in the wine casket[/b]

I miss this game, before resident evil these types of games were the only scary ones of their time.
I've never played this game. I just finished downloading and burning it, but the disc's won't work. I'm pretty pissed off. It looks epic. ):
@girlydress how? where? i want it too! i played it when i was like 10... and i want to play it again! :P
This is more like watching a movie than a game.
eww adriene... if you liked that... it was blood, from a woman that's been there for a century... really, it's everything but tasty.. anyway.. does anyone know where the mus. sheets for the piano theme are??
@VitalSigns1 lol maybe the inherited the mansion ?
@tonimusher
Wouldn't a cat kill itself if it was named "Spazz?"
@VitalSigns1 You'd be surprised how much photographers make..
And authors make a good chunk of money too, depending on how well they sell.
Who else thought blue oyster cult was gonna start playing when she walked up to the tarot card fortune teller machine.
It does?
iI had this game and my computer wasn't powerful enough to play it. Now I can live vicariously.
Between the hunting for booze behind the bar and tasting those old, dirty pumps downstairs, I wonder if she was an alkie.
Who buys a house without having fully visited and explored it????
FYI: This game actually sold a million copies. Not an obscure game most people think it is!
@VitalSigns1 It's kinda like Darkseed. xD
That is a tiny ass bottle of Absinthe...
@VitalSigns1 Wealth and income are not the same thing. Kids with trust funds pretend to have professions, but they're really spending their inheritance. Is Paris Hilton really a fashion designer? No.
This is one of the few games that I feel is actually scary, way up there with Silent Hill.
I would HATE that piano and Gypsy fortune teller. Just being in a place like that would creep me out. With that tune playing and that eerie looking device I'd be getting so frightened I'd want to smash them both!
She drinks unidentified liquids out of giant barrels
omg i finally found the game.... i remember my bro playing this and i was like 5 or 6, i was so scared of it :O :O :O i still cant believe i finally found the game omg
Well, it does say longplay in the title...
I love video games, but we should agree on something: logic + video games does not mix.
Not to be a killjoy or anything like that but it's a bloody game! We usually play games to relax, have fun and leave the laws of reality behind for a short while so why are people throwing logic at something where logic is not needed? I know the human condition is to question things so my question is 'Why put walls in your imagination that don't need to be there?'
Maybe its me, but I could swear she called that cat Spaz
@VitalSigns1 maybe he photographed celebrities ;pp
dammit she shouldve taken that absinth bottle =(
mmmmm absinthe...now everything of this game make sense...
"Absinthe is an aphrodisiac of the soul. The green fairy who lives in absinthe wants your soul...but don't be afraid - you're safe with me."
Her basic stance looks so silly... At ease, soldier!
I would've laughed my ass off if (at 1:18) that door slammed shut behind her. See Unvited NES game for what I mean by that.
@horbigast I wish ! We should make one and become rich !!
6:43 "I wish I were big"
1:01 Little did she know... that was mid-18th century vintage sperm.
Haha....it's true about the cat!
actors can actually- well, if you say so... okay I can't place the blame on them, most of the dialogue is really cheesy.
this game rules but how did that sleezy dude pick up adrienne i kinda vomit on the cheesyness of the game
I hated the fortune teller in BIG and I hated the one in this game. Freaky as things!
Bastards! They cut the scene where Tom Hanks turns up looking for the Zoltan machine only to find out a) the guy that owned the house is called Zoltan and b) Zoltans machine is just a cheap imitation of the real Zoltan machine.

LOL freaking hilarious hahahahah
VUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH never seen a stupid looking game like this ahahahhaha
