A new adventure game from Tansoft by the author of their earlier Zodiac.

The action takes place in an old House Of Horror where films were once made. Various props have been left behind and the house is now occupied by strange and dangerous residents.

If you dare enter the house then you might find five treasures hidden there, but in the course of searching the house you are quite likely to meet a nasty end by one foul means or another.

In addition, if midnight comes - a chiming clock keeps track of time - it is not a good idea to be still inside.

Technically the game seems sound, with the opportunity of saving your position incorporated in the program. The author has a nice sense of humour and I found some of the results of my actions really very funny.

There are no graphics as such apart from an introductory picture, and I found the screen scrolling a little annoying since not much information is available to view at any one time.
