What players say
Players praise this point-and-click mystery as a charming, nostalgic trip for Phantom of the Opera fans, though its slow walking speed and a tricky catacombs puzzle require patience. The voice acting is dated and adds a campy feel, while the story weaves book and musical references into a quick adventure.
