A creepy haunted mansion is internally consistent and makes a good setting.Phantasmagoria isn't a bad game.
User Rating: 8.3 | Roberta Williams' Phantasmagoria PC
Plot and Quests: The plot is simple and rather cliched, with a few interesting twists and turns and several glaring plot holes. (The one I can reveal without giving anything away: the villain's wives died extremely unusual violent deaths, which would have given any policeman in the country no choice but to classify them as homicides. How in the hell did they keep getting declared accidents? These aren't women being pushed down the stairs, here, this is Hannibal Lector sort of stuff!) Like most graphical adventures, Phantasmagoria also suffers from its inflexibility. There is only one way to complete each quest; no alternate endings, no choices to be made. The storyline isn't bad per se, but it isn't compelling either, and the player's lack of input into it doesn't help
