House of the Stalker

Author:Jason Clayton White
Genre:Horror
Released:1996
Review:

An escaped homicidal maniac is somewhere in your house, and you must kill or be killed. Gameplay consists of first collecting all the items you'll need, then using them all, in the right order, when the killer attacks - hesitate, or find yourself lacking an item, and you die. Ostensibly a parody of slasher films, although this doesn't come across very well. A little buggy. Contains a hint menu and embedded copies of Freefall and Robots.

Rating: ***
