Overview

Escape from Monster Manor (known in Japan as Virtual Horror: Norowarate Yakata, the sub-title loosely translated to "Cursed Mansion") is a horror-themed first-person shooter developed by Studio 3DO (Company) and published by Electronic Arts (Company) for the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer in 1993.

One of the earliest games from the studio (along with Twisted: The Game Show), Escape from Monster Manor is a simple first-person shooter similar to Wolfenstein 3-D and was developed exclusively for the 3DO. It is one of the earliest first-person shooters to include high-color graphics and redbook audio.

Armed solely with a handgun that fires bolts of electricity, players explore 12 sections of a vast and haunted mansion in order to collect pieces of a talisman, as restoring it banishes the evil spirits from the world. The game is known for its unique HUD, with the player's ammo displayed as a gauge on the weapon itself and the player's health conveyed by the player's gun hand (which becomes noticeably gaunt and decrepit the more damage is received).
