Curtis Craig is a quiet young man. He has a steady job working for the WynTech Industries corporation. He has a lovely girlfriend, Jocilyn. He's been out of the mental hospital for exactly one year. All Curtis wants is to live a normal, happy life, but something seems to have other plans... Strange events, inexplicable and terrifying, begin to happen all around him. Curtis begins to doubt his own sanity, and the very fabric of reality.
Then... The murders begin...
A psychological horror story from the blackest depths of the human soul
A compelling story with interesting characters
An intense atmosphere not meant for the faint of heart
Let's be clear here. If you're hankering for a Sierra FMV adventure game your first stop should be the excellent Gabriel Knight: The Beast Within. Phantamasgoria 2 is not in that league, either in game design, writing, or acting. However, while game elements and puzzles in P2 are light and either hilariously easy or obtuse by turns, there are definitely things to be said for the game's atmosphere and storyline. The idea is that the protagonist, Curtis, may be losing his mind. Even, maybe, committing the horrific murders at his workplace that propel the bulk of the story. The developers elaborate on this theme rather nicely, with plenty of freaky hallucinations, bizarre e-mails on Curtis's work computer, and similar. P2 also features a refreshingly unstereotyped, amusing and likeable gay character in Trevor, Curtis's best friend (and sometime object of Curtis' more repressed fantasies). Unfortunately, the game kind of thuds to a halt in the final moments, dumping many of the more promising elements for a bizarre left field turn and obtuse final area. It's a worthwhile experience, certainly far more so than the original Phantamasgoria, but it's probably not a must-play.
I remember playing parts of this when I was a teenager so I picked up the pack that had both games on sale. This game is a decent point and click adventure. There are some more "adult" themes in the game. From various slasher scenes to sex scenes it is all in there. The acting is so so but what would you expect from a mid nineties computer game. The story is odd but keeps you going. Over all I had a good time with it but I do like cheesy style horror movies to an extent. If you like that and want a taste of nostalgia, this will get you there. If you are a first timer, if you don't have high expectations and know what you are getting in to, then you will have a good time.
Puzzle of flesh is a great game, if you want to have fun and lay back you will find what you wish here. But you won't find horror, it's not scary, the puzzle are easy and the story is a little convoluted, if that's fine for you, then you'll have a great time.
This game such a great improvement of Phantasmagoria's Engine, the "Full FMV" UI is more fluid and believable. the acting and effects are much better too. However, the plot became much more convoluted and strange, the game leads you to expect a Murder mystery and ends up with a rushed sci-fi twist.
In the end, you will enjoy Puzzle of Flesh for its funny character, way more developed than it's predecessor, great environment, and nice pacing, I just wish the last act was as memorable as Adrienne's confrontation with a Demon.
