Phantasmagoria.
No, not the more recent VR Game, Phasmaphobia. Phantasmagoria was a DOS PnC adventure game that absolutely scared the shit out of me when I was 9.
I remember that game. It came on like 7 CDs and was pretty much entirely FMV if I remember correctly.
Yep. It had a script over 550 pages long; about the same length as an average hollywood film and also had a huge 25 actor cast, many of which were classically trained actors.
And here I am only remembering the basement and the scary sounds that made me stop playing for a week.
Goddamn did that game push some limits. I guarantee something like that remade today would get an AO rating.
