About this game

Explore multimedia macabre in this unparalleled presentation of Poe's classic tale. Immerse yourself in the visual and aural manifestations of one man's madness. Your journey through the House of Usher will be filled with startling animations- rich, brooding graphics- and musical interludes that reflect subtle details, creating a story within the story. If you find yourself wondering what kind of mind creates a tale of this type, go to the Analysis, where you'll find a biography of Poe, an overview of the genre, and interpretations of the story. When you think you've got it all figured out, be sure to investigate a special part of the house- the 3-D Art Gallery. But Usher is a complex man. You'll have to solve the puzzles he poses; and as you do, you'll discover that his paintings are alive… and rather frightening! Race to escape before The Fall of the House of Usher.
