Description
<em>Mystery House</em> is a monochrome interactive fiction adventure game that places the player in a Victorian mansion with seven other people. As the player explores the mansion, he discovers that there is a killer murdering each guest one by one. The objective of the game is to figure out who the murderer is before the murderer finds the hero. Players explore and manipulate objects by typing in one or two-word phrases such as "north" or "get knife".
Review ★★★☆☆
<p>This one is hard to rate is it is one of the first graphical adventure games made. The parser is basic as are the "graphics" but the game holds together and you see the designed elements of Sierra's game start to take shape.</p>
