Played this with my girlfriend and we both enjoyed the overwhelming cheesyness and lowbudget writing. My parents played it when they were dating back in the 90's and now I did the same thing, felt good. If you like FMVs or mistery games you'll probably enjoy it, but make sure to be patient, the UI is dated and clunky, can get on your nerves sometimes.

The game is good and has some old school 96' atmosphere to it, but chapter 7 is glitching/crashing the game and it deletes your save game making it a real nightmare to beat the game. I need to find a video of what to do as I'm seemingly stuck in endless loop of crashes and end game screens.

Roberta Williams of King's Quest fame produced a gothic horror inspired adventure that captivated my imagination. A married couple searches to find the chilling secret hidden beneath a newly acquired haunted mansion that has a sordid history. The dialogue's pacing can drag on a bit. Moving from plot point to plot point can take some time. But Phantasmagoria's premise is solid, and produces a story that holds the players attention. Rated 7 out of 10.

Considering it's age it's held up pretty well. The storyline is linear. Object hunting & usage are straightforward. There was only 1 items usage that took me having to look it up and once you read it you'll smack yourself in the head. The FMV cutscenes, back in the day these were fantastic. Today they're a garbled pixellated mess. No hate as there's only so much that can be done to enable the game to run on current systems. This is one game out of a handful that I'd love to see get a remake.

This classic can come off as quite cheesy, compared to modern games, however I find that the cheesiness is all apart of the appeal. Not only was this a groundbreaking game for its time, but this game definitely has enough crazy story-line to keep the player invested (and horrified). Would also recommend the censored version for those more sensitive to gore. I normally am not phased by that kind of thing, however, they did not hold back on the practical effects and even I was surprised by some of the graphics lol
