And this was a surprise to me because, when I play a "Gabriel Knight" game I expect to be confused. I know those games will have a lot of historic information and it's difficult to digest all the information much less remember it. But with Phantasmagoria, I wasn't confused too much when I played the first game. I always had a pretty good idea what was going on, and I instantly knew what was flashback and what was presently happening. So I didn't expect to be mentally lost in the 2nd game. But boy, I was! Figuring out what was flashback and what was currently happening was tough at times. And as for the storyline, when we get to chapter 5 I'm confused about everything, and when you get to the top secret room I have no idea what's going on even after it's explained. My mind was just completely lost from there to the end.
Is Curtis an alien? How did Jocelyn get a gun? How come the mutants didn't know that it wasn't Curtis who killed them? How did Paul Warner get in the night club? How did Paul Warner even know about the nightclub and that Therese worked there? Did Curtis drive his mother to insanity or was she just insane? How did Curtis authoritatively tell the cop to leave his house and make it work? I would think trying to order around a cop would be a bad idea, especially a mean, tough cop who is absolutely certain in her mind that you are the killer. What exactly happens to Curtis during the bad ending?
