Phantasmagoria is one of the most iconic horror adventures of the 90’s FMV craze. In hindsight, this game, alongside many of its peers have garnered an almost infamous reputation for being bad, cheesy, overacted, and for being an outright misstep in video game evolution that caused the death of the adventure game. It’s time to set the record straight. In this video, we talk about Roberta Williams’ magnum opus, how trailblazing it was as a technological achievement for the time, the waves of controversy it stirred, and most importantly, how narratively brilliant it was as a psychosexual horror thriller.
