Phantasmat

Woohoo. Finally I can steal the time away to finish this game. Oh my~~ This game is so creepy. Without needing to give us horrific graphic- the graphic is so poor in my sight, the storyline itself had been success to scare me. Too many paths to go through.

In Phantasmat we will play as ourselves. There's no clear character in solid appearance like most hidden object games I ever played. We'll give a role just the way we position ourselves in that game, as the main role. Oh, without conversation also. The conversation is the one-way one.


You are on your holiday. Feeling your car are getting to stray, you decide to consult with your map. But an accident happens which will lead you something terrible. A nightmare. Your car crashed and the rainy night make everything to be worst. Nobody will take any risk to approach a broken car under the heavy rain. Water is one of the best materials of electric discharges.

So you decide to enter the forest. You see an old shack and suddenly a girl come from nowhere in the dark. You tell your car is broken and you need if she can help you. She offers you to use a phone in a hotel nearby. But, besides giving you an advise, she also warn you to leave the hotel as soon as you finish with your stuff.

You walk to the hotel panorama and step into its gate. The hotel has a quite unique name. Drowned Hotel. You are welcomed by its owner. An old man. He says it's kinda surprising to see stranger visit their hotel. You utter that you need to use the hotel's phone to ask help. He allows. But a blackout comes. While the phone can't be used without the electricity. You need to fix the generator.

 
 

Your feet lead you to enter the basement through its corridor which ends in the generator room. Before you can finish your steps to your aim, the previous girl scolds you why you are still in the hotel. She has warned you to go away as soon as you finish your call. Knowing what really happen, she points her finger out to where you have to go to fix the generator. The generator is fixed and the hotel lobby is filled with lights. It means you can use the phone.

You dial the numbers and someone speaks in its end. Out of your expectation, he tells that your location is out of detection. Nolens volens, you have to rent one of the hotel's room to wait for morning to come. Your room is next to an old lady's room. She is funny, friendly and creepy at once. She tells you about what a glamorous town the hotel is located at used to be. But everything turned 180 degree because something she still conceals.

The girl actually is working in the hotel. She waits to have some time to speak with you. To tell you something you need- you have to, know. She tells that there's something terrible with the hotel, its owner, the old lady and town nearby it. She asks you to find a way to escape from there. She begs. You agree and because you need to get out of that place, too. A long search you will go through. To a cliff in the right side of the hotel which will show you a cemetery panorama and your search takes you to a diving suit. You dive to the drowned town then. Finally you find the answer. The truth that nobody except you is human.


This girl is naive. She has a romantic heart. Came to the town just to work. Not even to settle in there. Her fault for falling in love with a bastard married man. She believed when he told her that he would leave his family to marry her. But suddenly the bad news spread. The dam would collapse and people had to relocate. The girl thought the relocation was the best chance to sneak into the church to marry secretly. Wearing the bride's gown, she ran to the church with a bouquet in her hand. But her man never come. He precisely run with his family out of the town. And the girl died of drowning in her waiting.


This old man is the owner of The Drowned Hotel. His past was dark. He was a gangster member with so many success bank robberies. Found his partners got caught by police, he realised sooner or later he would get caught too. So he decided to run into a small town in nowhere to settle and build a brand new life. He tried his best to hide his true nature to give a good impression toward people there. Then he stayed in a hotel, showed the best attitude so people accept him easily. But habits which had been built for years couldn't be eliminated in months. He desired to own the hotel. Then the news about the dam which would collapse came to his ears. He worried his money would be stolen if he left the hotel. Thinking the hotel was located safely on a hill, he buried his money before running. But unexpectedly the dam collapse faster than expected. The man died of drowning with his money.


This old lady had the most sinister past among them. She was just a common young lady. With her beauty, she seduced the innocent Mayor then she became his wife. She enter the high class community and everybody knew who she was. The Mayor's wife. But she was not satisfied for always being her husband's shadow. She then killed her husband by poisoning his drink. She was sorry. Really, really big sorry in her heart. Then she rent a room in a hotel to move into because the house she and her husband ever lived just reminded her about her husband and what she had done to him. The dam was collapsed when she was in her husband's cemetery begged for forgiveness.
