So I'm currently going a bit mad over this... Ages ago(sometime in the '90s" I remember watching a friend playing some kind of first-person horror game... The main character wandered through an old dilapidated mansion. I don't remember the objective, per say, but a lot of the rooms had spooky NPC's that would slaughter you. I remember one room in particular, the closet had a crawl space and when he went through the first time there was a alter with a girl that had been murdered on it.
Another room had an eerie girl, and if you did(or didn't) do anything she'd kill you! But she wasn't always there.... And the sacrificed girl room would change too, sometimes you'd show up before, during, or after the murder. And sometimes it would just have blood.
PLEASE HELP! Thank you!!!

I was thinking Alone in the Dark also, but that stuff about the girl just doesn't fit right. Also, Alone is not First person. It's most definitely Third person from set cinematic camera locations.

It's okay, I'm a saint, I forgave your mistakes.

Was it The Last Half of Darkness?

I'm almost positive that's what you're referring to. There have been remakes and sequels since.

You can obtain the original here for free: http://www.the-underdogs.info/game.php?id=2184

It's not Alone in the Dark, and it's definitely not Max Payne Roll Eyes

I've never played it, but it also kind of sounds like the Zork series of games. Possibly Zork: Nemesis. I remember seeing reviews of that game in PC Entertainment magazine in the 90s. And youandwhosearmy is right, it's definitely not Max Payne. Max Payne is a noir 3rd-person shooter, not a FP horror game. Wink

Although Max Payne was crazy enough to be a horror-like game, especially during the flashbacks.


Arrgh. I'm comin' for pillagin'!

I don't know if this was on PC, but it reminds me a lot of this game called "D". Not sure if this is the game you speak of...

Phantasmagoria was also out around the same time, but I never played any of these games so that's a true shot in the dark...
