In 1995, Phantasmagoria shocked the gaming world with its blend of live-action horror, mature storytelling, and cinematic ambition. In this episode, we explore how Roberta Williams and Sierra On-Line broke new ground by merging Hollywood filmmaking with interactive adventure design. We trace the game’s development from concept to its massive seven-disc release, examining the technical innovations and production challenges that brought its haunted mansion to life. Our conversation also dives into its controversy over graphic violence and adult themes, its record-breaking sales, and the rise and fall of the FMV era it helped define. Join us as we uncover the chilling legacy of Phantasmagoria on today’s trip down Memory Card Lane.
