Within the tiny hamlet of Tynham Cross lies mysteries of a macabre and demonic nature. It is up to you to discover it's esoteric past and potential fate. This small town is gradually undergoing a change of evil within it's very foundations. The game play is similarly to any other adventure game of its time, but I think it has a slightly easier interface then comparable games such as Hugos House of Horrors and its ilk. You simply have to use the mouse to select the command you wish to use on the object in the environment your in, instead of a completely typed command interface.

You would do well to remember to save a great deal. Especially before you do something your not sure about.
After all, that's so outstanding about computer games; you can save or load nearly anytime you wish. Plot-wise, one might be obliged to think of an H. P. Lovecraft tale ( or at least I was ); of small towns becoming compelled and possessed by a being without the slightest intention of kindness or benevolent behaviour toward its inhabitants. In short, a powerful entity wishing to enslave and dominate the populous, and the people being incomprehensibly willing to bend toward said oppression. But seriously, there are many elements to this story to make one have imaginings of a depth of inventiveness unrelated to a Lovecraftian story.
You will encounter spooky things of a traditional sort such as vampires and ghosts. But not wishing to give too much more away from the story line, I will just say that those that are interested in undertaking a game with a plot of spirits, and such things that are not in our perceived material plane of existence, will be satisfied by the scenario of this mechanical diversion. It does of course have its "cheesy" parts. But who among us can honestly deny producing at least a grin from certain cheesy scenes in horror movies like the Evil Dead series? Stick with it and you will be entertained and intrigued through it all.
