Looking for a puzzle-solving game for PS3

SourChipmunk · 10 Mar 2009 at 21:46

I did a search and couldn't find anything. Years and years ago I played a game with my bro. We spent hours with this interactive story called Phantasmagoria, in which a lady is stuck in a haunted mansion and has to solve various puzzles in order to escape. There wasn't much action, mostly story, and some clever clues to solve.

Is there anything like that out there these days for the PS3? Just anything that is spooky and a good storyline and might make you jump out of your skin at parts?

Thankfully no. There were many similar games like this on Sega MegaCD, 3DO, CD32 etc. They all seemed really badly acted and tacky to me. Thankfully the trend for making such "interactive" games is long gone...

Had a peek for it at my local store yesterday, it didn't exist. I have another stop to make today so I'll have another look. Thanks for the recommendation!

Hah hah! I have that for the PC from back in 1993. Have they improved it for the PS1 version?
