Waxworks

It looks like a not fully developed predecessor to Elvira games whereas it surprisingly is a successor. When Elvira got me engaged this one got me quickly bored. Maybe it's because I started with the Egypt stage which - as others point out - is the most tedious one. But it was "too something" for every genre it tried to borrow something from. Too empty and non-engaging for a dungeon crawler (you just clicked on your screen and hoped that you'll hit the enemy; no stats, no proficiency in anything). Too spaced for a point and click adventure. I don't know what it was supposed to be but it failed.

I love horror games, and Waxwork really nails the "horror adventure" theme. However, this game will seem very unforgiving to most modern players. A lot of trial and error is needed, and navigating very samey-environments is the order of the day. If you are not the type that likes drawing maps on paper, you may want to skip this.

I love this game, found out way too late about it. It's a totally fun gory and dark horror classic, if you love dungeon crawlers with a eerie touch and spooky adventure elements, this is your game! I also look forward too the remake from Went2Play that is coming soon, but the original is the thing that was most present in my youth. Also loved the Elvira games from Horrorsoft.

This game will put to test all your logic skills. There is a lot of trial and error involved, but that is what this game is about: based on a first intuition refine your strategy to solve the puzzles. Loved making my maps, finding all the items and the paths to solve each of the levels. Would have appreciated a the final encounter with the witch to be more challenging and rewarding, but I guess that the amount of good work put into the 4 main waxworks makes this a masterpiece nonetheless. 5 stars and now on to Jaws of Cerberus!
