Are You Afraid of the Dark? The Tale of Orpheo's Curse

In conclusion, the game has a good, scary story and a very entertaining environment to explore. The only bad points are no sequels, plus it's tricky to run on a new computer. This is a great game for kids--it's scary, fun, and exciting.

I can only conclude that this is a wonderful game for 'brave young adults', and I know quite a few 'older' adults as well who wouldn't be too averse to exploring this haunted theatre. Turn off the lights for this one, and good luck.

"Are You Afraid of the Dark" is based on the Nickelodeon television series about a club of kids called The Midnight Society. The members of this club entertain each other with ghost stories around a campfire. The premise of this game is that you, the game player, are attempting to gain entrance into the society by telling a ghost story of your own.

It's a very clever idea, and it works very well. This is one of the first games I've played that I would wholeheartedly recommend to older kids.

Vom Fluch der dürftigen Komplexität abgesehen, kann Orpheo gefallen: professionelle Unterhaltung, nicht ungeschickt angesiedelt zwischen konventionellem Grafik-Adventure und interaktivem Film.
