Phantasmagoria 2: A Puzzle of Flesh (RARE!)

Image

In 1996, Phantasmagoria: A Puzzle of Flesh by Lorelei Shannon was released. Though still enormous in size — coming on five separate CDs — it was in no way as large as its predecessor.

Dropping the unique adventure game style interaction in favor of an interactive movie format, A Puzzle of Flesh was more expensive to produce and less popular with audiences tiring of video clip-driven games. Though some concluded that it was a substantial improvement over the original in several areas, others dismissed the game, criticizing it for its completely different atmosphere, lack of creativity, interactivity and excessive violence.

The plot of the second game in the series revolves around the character of Curtis Craig, a 30-year-old man working in a company managed by the enigmatic Paul Warner. Curtis' mysterious and traumatic past is a key element in the plot, as he pieces together his experience to form a picture of his soul, one whose discovery might lead to his demise. Harassed by quasi-delusions which seem all too real, Curtis aims to uncover the truth about his family, co-workers and most importantly, his own existence. As his delusions become more and more real and begin to have an enormous, terrible impact on his surroundings, Curtis must confront his fears or risk getting devoured by what lives within him.

A Puzzle of Flesh has a fairly standard interface, with the cursor shaped into the distinctive logo of WynTech— the company employing Craig. The inventory is accessible practically at any time, while events of some importance can be recalled using a handy option that plays the clip the player selects from any single chapter.

Trivia
The US and German uncut-version is banned in Germany. The heavily-cut UK version is not banned in Germany.

Phantasmagoria 2 was the first computer game to establish the playable character as being bisexual.

In Phantasmagoria 2, the location of the fetish club was actually the original location of a popular downtown Seattle fetish club called The Vogue. Most of the extras in the club scene were Technical Support phone reps from Sierra Online.
