Apparently it is for sale, and game opens in your first day in the new home.

It reminded me the most of the 90’s remake of The House On Haunted Hill – a campy plot with the only updates made to the raunchy, full color gore. Despite hoping that this could finally be it, the scariest psychological thriller I’ve ever played, Phantasmagoria didn’t scare me, didn’t even make me a little unsettled. The best I can really do is tell you how the game affected me and why. What scares one person may not scare another, and may be completely too much for a third. Horror games, like horror movies, are difficult to review with any accuracy, because the experience is more subjective than any other genre. Adrienne’s husband quickly takes a Jack Torrance turn. It also is unintentionally a fitting description for the game itself – a lot of magic lanterns and silk screens that produce great-looking effects, that ultimately distract you from the story and terror that aren’t there.
The game is about an old Vaudville magician named Carno, famous for his horrific stage acts and gruesome ghost shows, and the couple who inherit his twisted estate. Is it the scariest game ever made? Sadly, no.Ī “phantasmagoria” was a term for an old Vaudville-era show using an early, crude form of a slide projector (called a magic lantern) and some silk screens positioned just to the sides of the stage, to project the images of spirits and ghosts “floating” in the theatre. Does it deserve all of this ruckus it has stirred up over the years? Sure.
The game that made us wonder if sweet King’s Quest/Mixed Up Mother Goose designer Roberta Williams had secret “issues.” The game spoken of in mostly hushed tones and shocked awe – “Did you SEE that part where that girl got killed?” “Did you SEE that rape scene!?” And the game that did or did not revolutionize the “interactive movie,” depending on who you talk to.
