And what little gameplay Phantasmagoria 2 offers is hardly challenging. But at the same time it’s a horribly campy and not that well-acted B-movie horror, as was the original, and you’ll quickly realize it’s even more movie than game this time around. In its best moments, A Puzzle of Flesh owes to the deeply weird visions of filmmaker David Cronenberg. It’s definitely not the usual horror cliché. All was going well until one of Curtis’ coworkers gets killed and crucified, leaving poor Curtis in a deranged state as the cops tie him to the murder (he remembers nothing of the event). As the story begins, Curtis has just ended his stay in an asylum, and he’s started working at Wyntech. The game casts you as Curtis Craig, a young man who remembers very little of his extremely troubled past. Phantasmagoria 2 has a more original and complex premise than any of Sierra’s previous forays into the horror genre.
