"Are
You Afraid of the Dark? is based on the Nickelodeon television series about
a club of kids called the Midnight Society. The members of this club entertain
each other with ghost stories around a campfire. The premise of this game
is that you, the game player, are attempting to gain entrance into the society
by telling a ghost story of your own. It's a very clever idea, and it works
very well. This is one of the first games I've played that I would wholeheartedly
recommend to older kids. The story you're "telling" in this case is about
Alex and Terri, a brother and sister who sneak into an abandoned old theater
one night. The theater, "Orpheo's Palace," was once the venue of a famous
magician of the same name. Unfortunately, the magician, his family, and
his employees all disappeared or died in very mysterious and highly questionable
circumstances over fifty years ago, and since then the theater has been
closed. ...It should come as no great shock to the reader that the theater
is, indeed, haunted. The Great Orpheo, now an insanely evil ghost, has filled
his audience with wax dummies for whom he continues to perform. Trouble
is, his magic doesn't seem to work any more, and anyone who appears in one
of his tricks tends to come to a very bad end. Terri and Alex aren't in
the creepy old theater more than a few minutes before they learn that Orpheo
plans for them to star that very night in his most difficult illusion: the
Teleportation Boxes! Their only hope for survival and escape from the theater
is to solve the riddle of Orpheo's Curse. They get assistance in this quest
from several helpful ghosts that populate the theater." - |
