H. P. Lovecraft's work is an inspiration for this 3D action adventure game, perhaps the first game which could be termed 'survival horror' and thus an inspiration for hits such as Resident Evil and Silent Hill. Jeremy Hartwood has committed suicide in his Louisiana mansion. You take the role of either Edward Carnby, a private investigator, or Emily Hartwood, Jeremy's niece, and investigate the suspicious death. The three-floor mansion is reputed to be haunted by its eccentric past owner. Very quickly, you realise that it is. Warped rats, zombies and giant worms are among the foes who are after you, and you must somehow escape. The graphics combine 3D people with hand-drawn backgrounds in a manner that was new at the time. Limited supplies means that you can't go in with guns blazing, but instead must carefully conserve your resources. Books in the rooms are not mere props; they can be read to gain further information and clues to solving the game's puzzles. Most of the game is non-linear and encourages exploration.
