Description

You have just won the lottery and bought a huge state of the art mansion. Everything in it is computer controlled and monitored by security cameras and robots. The place can literally look after itself but when the clock strikes midnight at the start of the year 2000 things start to go wrong.

This is a third person point and click adventure game which was intended to cash in on the "popularity" of the Y2K bug. You view the game from fixed camera positions in the same way as Alone in the Dark except the view is rotatable through 360 degrees.

Trivia

The box for Y2K is designed to look like a metal breifcase. When you open up the flaps it looks like you are opening a nucleur device. There is even a light built into the spine of the box (which in turn is the suitcase handle).
