This game comes with frustrations you'd expect from a graphical adventure of its vintage but it holds up altogether as a fun spelunk into a creepy mansion. I loved the non-linear approach to the point-and-click adventure and its usage of various player skill and it got me thinking... why aren't there more games like this? Or at least, more games like this that are more well-known in the gaming community?
PnCAs would evolve to become something more streamlined and focused but there's an idea here that holds up even 30+ years later. It could have used some refinement, but it's still good. I liked exploring this cozy manor (aside from the kitchen, that place can go straight back to hell).
Now I played this through the Deluxe edition but I don't think too much was lost in the fanmade update. The added music was appropriate. The colour palette was nice. Maybe one day I'll play one of the original versions, though.
