Leper Residue

To where no dog has gone before.

Remember those bad movie-point-click hybrids that came out somewhere in the mid-90s for PC? Well, Phantasmagoria is one of the only good examples of an instance in which that worked. It's basically a video game version of "The Shining" and it's both campy and creepy as hell. I played it twice as a kid and found it absolutely fascinating and terrifying at the same time. There's even a chase scene at the end wherein there are literally dozens of ways it can play out, depending on where you choose to go, what you pick up, ect. Here's a video which sums it up pretty well: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s00Gd4WsYlc)

I'm pretty sure it's Abandonware now but the file size is a tad too large to merit a download from me. The sequel kind of sucked however and was about computer nerds and aliens.

You can get it at GOG right now. http://www.gog.com/game/phantasmagoria It goes on sale every once in a while for I think like 4 dollars.

And I say this as someone who loved this game as a teenager, those are some rose colored glasses. It has not aged well at all, it's like playing/watching an extremely low budget soap opera with some horror tones.
