Uninvited

Overall, Uninvited is an excellent example of old school adventuring. This is not a game that’s recommended to the “21st century junkies” out there. No 3D, T&L, 4xAA or pixel shading effects here. Just an excellently designed pure adventure, which completely absorbs the player into its world, creating an atmosphere steeped in fear and loneliness. You will literally feel that your mind and your life are threatened as you explore the mansion where not only are you unwelcome, but you are also uninvited.

No, if you want the best graphics in addition to bloodcurdling screams and angry crashes of thunder, the Amiga is definitely the one to go with. And if you’re an experienced (patient) adventure gamer who doesn’t mind the constant threat of doom (actively seeks out all the gory ways you can off yourself in each room), the creepy atmosphere and black humor of Uninvited is sure to get you.

Kemco/Seika continues it's successful series of first-person perspective adventures with this visit through a mysterious and danger-filled mansion. Like Shadowgate, there are many elements of magic and other-worldly events in this story.

If the title reminds of you an old PC game made back in '86 by ICOM... well that's probably because this is the very same game. Uninvited is essentially a text-based adventure, polished up with some basic graphics and a point-and-click interface. If you don't like such games, or reading, the door is over there. If you're otherwise interested, read on, though with caution.
