Post Description

This story is about Alex and Terri, a brother and sister who sneak into an abandoned old theater one night. The theater, "Orpheo's Palace," was once the venue of a famous magician of the same name. Unfortunately, the magician, his family, and his employees all disappeared or died in very mysterious and highly questionable circumstances over fifty years ago, and since then the theater has been closed.

The Great Orpheo, now an insanely evil ghost, has filled his audience with wax dummies for whom he continues to perform. Trouble is, his magic doesn't seem to work any more, and anyone who appears in one of his tricks tends to come to a very bad end. Terri and Alex aren't in the creepy old theater more than a few minutes before they learn that Orpheo plans for them to star that very night in his most difficult illusion: the Teleportation Boxes!

Their only hope for survival and escape from the theater is to solve the riddle of Orpheo's Curse. They get assistance in this quest from several helpful ghosts that populate the theater.

The puzzles in the game aren't very difficult, but they are always diverting. Danger lurks at every corner, and periodically malicious ghosts, monsters, or other specters must be destroyed.

Another feature, rare in adventure games, is that the story's point of view bounces back and forth between sister and brother. This adds a level of complexity and realism to the game that is quite pleasing.

The theater is one huge place, and exploring it is very fun indeed. There's lots of eye candy, including a creepy wax museum and a series of multi-leveled catwalks above the theater.

The actors playing the ghosts are effective and believable, and Orpheo himself is a worthy villain.
This game has a good, scary story and a very entertaining environment to explore.

Is al in een dosbox, dus xp vista en linux zou moeten werken.
