Challenging but fun early adventure game
wlbtraveler9 October 2020
"Mystery House" was the first graphic adventure game ever, and playing it was definitely a trip down nostalgia lane. I found it through the Internet Archive where it's still playable, and spent about 2 hours working through it.

Due to its very rough, command-based nature, it can be quite a hassle to navigate, but I felt very satisfied finishing it. It's actually quite fun if you have the patience to enjoy it, even though the storyline is extremely basic. Some of the mechanics can be very frustrating as well, but I found that to be part of the charm. So despite it being a very simple and very tedious game, I would say I definitely enjoyed it.

Tip: If you ever go into the forest, SAVE YOUR GAME BEFOREHAND.
