What Darkness Conceals, Terror Reveals

Mystery sounds through the haunted halls and rings from the rafters of a deserted museum. Was this a failed dream or was it the waking nightmare of an eccentric old man? Where is the museum's creator, and the other ill-fated visitors who disappeared so long ago?

You enter, with nothing but your wits to help you survive. Wretched spirits watch for the innocent, the unwary, ready to steal your life's essence. Can you hear the shrieks now, the howls and moans and wails? They're waiting for you.
  • Experience spine-tingling first-person adventure.
  • Unravel a mysterious storyline full of twists and turns.
  • Witness ghostly live-action video sequences.
  • Explore a world filled with bizarre 3-D imagery.
  • Startle your senses with chilling music and eerie sound effects.
  • Roam at will throughout the museum - non-linear game play lets you re-visit puzzles that have stumped you.
  • Play again and again - location of items change and puzzles vary each time!

One of Sierra's miracles

This is absolutely one of the most fantastic puzzle/adventure games I have ever played. You are locked inside an abandoned (?) museum trying to figure out how to get out. Gameplay: it's a first-person slideshow-navigation game, completely controlled by mouse. The museum is a huge place to explore, but you learn to get around fairly easy. The game has no time limit, so you can explore at your own pace. The game's obstacles are almost exclusively puzzle-oriented, ranging from easy to complex ones (with 1 or 2 super hard ones). Your purpose is to trap some "entities" inside special vessels which are scattered around. The process is basically this: find vessel, find matching lid for the vessel, find entity that can be trapped in that specific vessel. Of course, it's not so easy as it sounds, as you can carry only 1 item each time. This means you will have to note places where you found/left other vessels/lids & you will have to backtrack often. To spice things up a bit, an entity you found in a room just moments ago may not be there when you come back, but in another room. The good thing is that each entity has a specific "property" that helps you guess where it might be. You also have a "life" bar (!) but don't worry, it's very easy to avoid dying. Audio: oh the music. This game has a brilliant soundtrack! It's so good I still remember most of its tracks after all these years. The music ranges from pure ambient to dark industrial & electronic, matching the atmosphere perfectly. Speaking of atmosphere, don't expect to be "scared" by the game as it is not meant to be a "horror" game in that sense (you will know what I mean when you encounter the 1st entity). The game's title is its purpose and it delivers 100%, pure chilly atmosphere. Fun fact: each time you start a new game (not a saved one) the initial positions of the vessels & lids are randomized so it has some form of replay value (no, puzzles won't change). Conclusion: if you like good adventure games get this now.

Finally!

This is one of the greatest games ever made in my humble opinion. I have been waiting for GOG to pick this game up for a long time, and I am thrilled to see that they finally have. Think Myst with a horror theme, can't recommend it highly enough!

One of my favorite games of all time!

Oh man, I am super excited to finally see this available for a modern system! This is one of my favorite games of all time, with an excellently atmospheric soundtrack (aside from one elevator, but it never fails to get a laugh out of me at how deliberately incongruous that one is). A few puzzles I will always use a guide for, primarily the Chinese checkers puzzle, because I just can never remember how to jump all the pieces *and* end up with the last one in the middle on my own. The voice acting is great, I especially like Professor Windlenot's actor and the museum display voice guy. The audial cues of nearby Ixupi is a nice touch to avoid getting injured unnecessarily, and are modified to let you know which one is nearby. This is one of two games that I've kept an old Windows XP virtual machine around to be able to play, and the other is its sequel. I definitely suggest you give it a try!
