Elvira 2, The sequel is fiercer and much more expansive
The first Elvira RPG was moderately scary and featured a campaign which did keep the player busy for a while. With Elvira 2, the name of the game is bigger scares, more foes, a much larger underground area where you can more easily get lost. The game puts you in the shoes of Elvira's boyfriend, tasked with the unfortunate quest of getting Elvira back from her captor, Cerberus. The interesting premise of the game is that the action takes place on the plateaus of movies. Generally, the props and decor remind of scary and horror movies and the fact that some of the items are animated when you walk by further increases the tension of playing the game. You will effectively be playing from a first person perspective, but the world around will not be rendered in real 3D. Instead you will basically be scrolling through a maze of pre-rendered still frames onto which animations are produced with the help of sprites. You will have to fight at times or try to find alternative routes through certain areas, while also picking up important clues and helpful items to further your quest. Make sure you book an entire weekend for this one, as the game is really long.
