Sierra has the best covers

Phantasmagoria 2 - A Puzzle of Flesh

Still at the beginning but never played this one, I expect a trainwreck but the intro is pretty fun in a horror B-movie kind of way with the corny soundtrack to accompany it.
Interesting that they made changed the interface so that that the character look in the direction the mouse icon is. Maybe because Adrienne in the first game looked weird always standing still. It looks creepy in here but that’s appropriate.

The first puzzle in the game is using the pet mouse to retrieve the wallet under the couch and attracting the mouse with a chocolate bar. Promising start Smile

Keep us posted. I actually never played this one but bought it a while back for the memes. May play it over the weekend if I find the time (and the machine - I actually can’t find my adventuring laptop Frown)

I’m curious as to how Sierra it is, since I don’t have the patience for dead ends and the like.

of course, it does not have dead ends, and easier than the 1st but it’s the goriest of them all.

wilco i can’t see that image of the cover, or is it me?

Not just you, you will be able to see it by copying the link address and pasting it in a browser window, then reloading. They use referrer URL protection to avoid hotlinking of images.

I played both Phantasmagoria games when they were originally released, but where I still have a very vivid memory of the first game, then I can hardly remember a single thing from the 2nd Meh

I guess that means that it is not nearly as scary or gory as the first, and more of a run-of-the-mill game Tongue

I thought the second one was notorious for being over-the-top with the nudity and gore.

Perhaps, but where I can still vividly remember all of the death scenes in P1, then I can’t remember a single scene from P2, and normally nudity and gore is something I would remember - Go figure

There’s one bit of female nudity (topless) and a couple of male (also topless Tongue ) and that’s it. Some gore but not a great deal although one bit is over the top I felt. For me, P2 was far better than the original although I appear in the minority on this.

And Wilco it’s a rat not a mouse.

Rats are rather more intelligent than mice and make very good pets although I wouldn’t try to catch one from the sewers of any main city and try to tame it!
You can get some decent info here http://www.nfrs.org/ although it won’t help you with the game Smile

Strangely I feel exactly the same way. I can remember small details such as P1 being the first game in which I experienced the newspaper under the door solution to retrieving a key puzzle. But I can’t remember a blasted thing about P2.

I finished chapter 1 - A couple of jump scares, 0 gore, 1 surprisingly explicit sex scene.

Pretty uneventful so far, mostly just clicking around looking for the place that triggers the next scene (with excellent acting, of course)
Not many puzzles except for 1 stupid hard one that, unless I missed the clues, we had to guess a mostly random word…
