In the modern day, your twin brother is next in line for some cursin’. In a Cain and Abel-esque fashion, the evil twin would always triumph over the good twin. Clutching her bloody stump, she placed a curse on the knight’s family line: That throughout history, whenever twin sons were born, one would be a servant of the devil.Īs curses go, that’s little more circuitous than inflicting lycanthropy or helping with weight loss, but it seems to have worked. In ancient times, the guardians of a village rounded up a suspected witch and chopped off her hand as punishment for heresy (and for stealing a chicken). Underneath all the guts and gristle, there’s a spinal column that spans from the old to the new in a ways that are really surprising. No, it was showing me the roots of the survival horror genre. This wasn’t a Personal Nightmare I could just wake up from. Here’s the thing: In spite of the many ways that Waxworks falls down, I felt a duty to persevere. The intervening Elvira games aren’t available on Good Old Games, presumably due to their devastating cleavage content so we’re left to guess at how they led to Waxworks happening… Taking classic “Move and you’ll die!” adventure game standards, then adding dungeon crawl RPG combat and exploration. When Personal Nightmare, another Horrorsoft game, gave me fits so bad I couldn’t finish it… I looked sideways at Waxworks with concern. I knew when I put the master list together that Waxworks would be a bummer of a roadblock on my path to sunnier climes. Waxworks is a game that you play in spite of yourself, but for few of the right reasons. If everything’s in place, a scary game will slow you down by making you afraid of what’s coming next.
