What players say

Players call Phantasmagoria a landmark FMV horror game from Sierra that still holds up for its ambition and atmosphere, though they often note the acting is cheesy and the story takes a while to get going. There is a split: some find the plot predictable and the cast insufferable, while others praise it as a genuine cult classic with mature themes handled seriously.
