Hysteria Project
I don’t know about you, but I still get nostalgic for good ol’ Night Trap, one of the best FMV (full-motion-video) games ever made. Oh, wait… I got that mixed up with Dragon’s Lair. Well, at least it had Dana Plato (a swig for me and another for my homie… RIP, girl!) from Diff’rent Strokes in the lead role. “Watchoo talkin’ ’bout, Willis?” Anyway, Hysteria Project brings the grand tradition of video with gameplay overlays to the iPhone. It’s in the survival-horror genre: you’re fleeing from a black-clad axe murderer through the spooky woods rather than endless zombies, but there’s enough axe-into-skull thwocks and splatters for the gore-lovers. The sound and video effects are very well done. The actual gameplay is a mix of choose-your-own-adventure decision-making and Shenmue-style quick action button presses. Overall, something a little different with high production value. Definitely worth a look. Price: 99¢.
