Phantasmagoria (1995) PC Playthrough

A playthrough of Sierra's 1995 PC game, Phantasmagoria.

*This recording has been replaced by a newer, much higher quality recording. Please watch that one instead:    • Phantasmagoria (PC) Playthrough  

Please note that the game is being played in the uncensored mode, and though it's nothing worse than a rated R horror movie, there are a few graphic bits if you're sensitive to that kind of thing.

Also, you might notice that there are no prompts in the video to switch discs: I copied the data from each of the discs to the hard drive before playing, since switching seven of them gets tiring after awhile. Especially when the point of CD #2 is to buy drain cleaner and to have an interminable chat with an old woman about antiques (which is not even necessary for finishing the game). The game is amazing, but really Mrs. Williams? Did this really require seven entire CDs? At least the entire seventh disc consuming finale makes up for this... ahem oversight.

The game is so much easier to playthrough like this, though I must admit - the lack of a "Please insert Disc 7" message when you click on the dark room door for the last time does upsettingly enough rob the start of the finale of a bit of the tension! (/end nostalgic geek out)

If you want to see a specific part, the chapter start times are below:

Chapter 1 - 3:29
Chapter 2 - 44:12
Chapter 3 - 1:13:16
Chapter 4 - 1:39:07
Chapter 5 - 2:16:11
Chapter 6 - 2:48:16
Chapter 7 - 3:26:26
Finale - 3:36:49

All of Carno's wives' deaths are shown throughout the video, as well as the majority of the scenes that are available in-game; if I had done the quickest path from beginning to end, the video would have been nearly an hour shorter.

I've been on a Sierra kick lately, so if there are any of their classic adventures that you'd like to see, or if you have any comments on the playthrough, please let me know!
