My Opinion of Phantasmagoria

Phantasmagoria, you may have heard about it in my previous post about fingernail polish were I used it as an adjective, but I really didn't go into my opionin on the game. So here goes. You play as one of the dumbest bondes in gaming history. She preaks point and click rules all the time and she point blank refuses to believe in anything supernatural until it walks up and slaps her in the face. Even a crying baby that dosen't exist and a singing rocking chair don't convince her. The acting is terrible, after this tense scene where you witness this guy killing his wife she stands up ramrod straight, like a goddamn solider. Her name is Adrian or Adrianne. The plot could have been good. A demon (that Adrianne releases) posses her husband and drives him barshit insane and you have to rescue him without getting yourself killed. You can't do it. There is no good ending to this game. You have to watch five women get brutally murdered to progress. The first gets her face carved up with a trowel then shoved into a flowerpot. The second is put into a machine that turns her head around until it snaps her neck. The third has some sort of entrails, possibly human, force-fed to her until they block her windpipe and she chokes. The fourth has a wine bottle shoved through her eye and into her brain. The fith is strapped into a machine that slices her head in two. All of them are pleasnt to watch. There is also a little baby girl that gets murdered, but thank God they don't show that. The kitty gets killed too. :( So if you fail to get everything that you need you find out in the most brutal way possible that she actually has a brain. (Adrianne shares the same fate as the fifth wife) If you get everything you need the husband gets killed, releasing the demon. If you go the wrong way at this point she gets her face ripped off by the demon. When you do everything right the demon is easily defeated with a magic spell. Why she couldn't use the spell when her husband was alive, I don't know. Yeah, no matter what happens one of them get murdered. No good ending here. It is quite a pleasnt game. Peace love and all that jazz Zarina
