   @SpindleyQ @dosnostalgic from what I heard they were planning to make a FMV adventure game that felt like playing a horror 80s b-movie. If that was the intention, they nailed that perfectly: it's a mediocre FMV horror adventure game in all regards. Even the "famous bathroom scene" fits in there.
   Granted, I'd have expected differently since it was written by a woman but, okay.

     @damianogerli @SpindleyQ I've seen many objectively terrible Italian horror movies from the 80s that were still better in every way than Phantasmagoria.

     @dosnostalgic @SpindleyQ hmm not many come to mind, I mean they were just as illogical, filled with plot holes and scenes that make you go "huh?".
     Unless it's Démoni, that one is just plain stupid fun.
     But anyway, the thing that I realized about Phantasmagoria, after replaying it a few months ago, is how it does not feel like a 7 CDs game at all. Not even for 1995.

     @damianogerli That's because it's only 2.1 gigs of total data due to the all the overlap. GK2 is a gigabyte larger despite being on less discs.

     @dosnostalgic yep, definitely feels like it.
     Perhaps if they left the movie parts to an *actual director* it would've been at least a better movie, if not a better game, but as it was, that project failed at both movie and FMV adventure.
     Also they also left lovely poop jokes easter eggs in. Because Sierra.
