After enjoying Phantasmagoria 2 I decided to have a go at the original Phantasmagoria. The pace of the game is just all wrong here. Every action or click results in having to wait while the character goes through an overlong animation. Examining items becomes tedious as we watch the main character look around and mostly play with her hair. The background graphics are terrible and the map layout is confusing as the game keeps changing viewing angles. Finished Chapter 1 and uninstalled. I suppose it could have been good in it's day with the live action being a novelty. But overall just too boring and long winded for me. I preferred the second offering of Phantasmagoria 2.
