Description

"Uninvited" is a point-and-click adventure game released for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) in 1991, originally developed by ICOM Simulations for the Macintosh in 1986. The game sets a spine-chilling stage as players find themselves stranded outside a creepy, old mansion after a car accident. As the protagonist, your quest begins with a search for your missing sibling who was last seen near the ominous estate. The gameplay involves exploring the mansion and solving a variety of puzzles to uncover the dark secrets that lie within. The game is renowned for its atmospheric graphics and moody soundtrack which together intensify the eerie and suspenseful tone of the adventure.

"Uninvited" is part of a trilogy of adventure games by ICOM Simulations, alongside "Deja Vu" and "Shadowgate", all notable for their adoption of the MacVenture interface that involves direct manipulation of objects and the environment to solve puzzles. Unique to "Uninvited" are its supernatural themes and horror elements, incorporating a variety of ghosts and magical spells which players must cleverly navigate or overcome. Death is a constant possibility, lurking in poorly chosen actions or failed puzzle solutions, adding a layer of challenge and urgency. The game was one of the early titles in the adventure genre to be ported to the NES, helping to broaden the appeal and accessibility of point-and-click adventure games to a wider console audience, and is remembered for its haunting narrative and challenging gameplay.
