"DON!"
It’s time to dive headfirst into 90s FMV madness as Rick, Topsy, Pickles, and Flux fire up Phantasmagoria, the legendary cringe-fest that dares to call itself horror. In Part 1 of this six-part saga, the crew begins their journey with awkwardly acted conversations, clunky exploration, and some of the worst puzzle logic the 90s had to offer. Welcome to the cursed mansion, where Adrienne can’t open a drawer without a dramatic music sting and the "horror" mostly involves wandering aimlessly looking for a key... or a crowbar... or anything at all.
Early challenges include navigating the endless mansion layout, trying to figure out how to feed the cat, searching for missing keys, and failing to sit through unskippable FMV sequences without losing their minds. This is peak 90s point-and-click—and the robots are here to laugh, suffer, and roast every minute of it.
GAME BIO: Phantasmagoria (1995) is a full-motion video (FMV) point-and-click horror game developed by Sierra. Directed by Roberta Williams, it tells the story of Adrienne Delaney, a young woman who moves into a mansion with a horrific past. With gruesome death scenes, awkward acting, and famously baffling puzzles (including early challenges like finding keys, unlocking doors, and triggering ghostly events), Phantasmagoria became a cult classic for all the wrong—and right—reasons.
