There are multiple endings depending on which characters survive, and it is possible for all of them to die. Characters can die, in which case the player must choose from one of the remaining characters to continue. The player has the ability to control five distinct characters, and they can easily fall victim to the perils of the mansion. The game is notably dark in spite of its humor. Players control a group of teenagers trying to rescue one of their own from the mansion of a mad scientist and his depraved family. Mansion is an homage to the teen horror movies of the 80s (think Friday the 13th). The torchbearer for this new wave of adventure games was Lucasfilm’s Maniac Mansion, the brainchild of renowned developer Ron Gilbert. One of the high points for the genre was in the late ’80s/early ’90s when companies like LucasArts (then known as Lucasfilm Games) began to improve on the genre’s text-based origins by adding richly detailed environments the player could interact with. Adventure games, like the moon, have waxed and waned throughout video game history.
