Hugo's House of Horrors is the first in a trilogy of fun graphic adventures on
the PC featuring Hugo. Made in the style of old Sierra games, the arrow keys
are used to control the character and commands are typed to interact with the
many enviroments. Hugo's girlfriend, Penelope, has been captured by the strange
inhabitants of the house in this first game, and it's up to Hugo to make his
way through the mysterious locations within the house in an attempt to find
her. He has to make his way through a ferocious dog's lair, a bat cave and even
avoid a mummy in one of the most difficult sequences of the game. Overall this
is a good start to a series, and is highly recommended for adventure game fans.
The game starts outside the house of horrors. Walk to the front door and "get
pumpkin". "Open pumpkin" to reveal a key. "Get key". "Unlock door". "Open door"
and walk north to enter the house. "Get candle" from the table. "Look in hole"
to discover a knife and a whistle. "Get knife". "Get whistle". Walk up the
steps and enter the far right door to arrive in the laboratory. Walk into the
cubicle and Igor will shrink Hugo.
Exit the cubicle, walk behind the glass on the left and "get bung" from the
table. Walk back into the cubicle and "tell Igor to press button" three times
to return to normal. Exit the cubicle and walk west to exit the lab. Walk to
the left door and "open door" to enter the bedroom. "Open wardrobe" and "get
mask" from inside. "Wear mask". Exit the bedroom, walk down the steps and go
through the first door on the right to enter the kitchen.
Walk north again to go outside. "Open door" of the shed and type "333" to open
the door. Walk inside the shed and "get oil". Exit the shed and walk south to
return to the house. Walk east to enter the dining room. Wait until the butler
approaches Hugo, then type "yes" when he asks if Hugo would like a chop. Walk
west through the top-left door to return to the kitchen. Walk over to the left
side of the kitchen, type "throw chop to dog" but don't press return yet.
Now walk west through the doorway and quickly press return to throw the chop to
the dog before it reaches Hugo. "Get chop" from the dog, which won't attack
Hugo now. Walk to the right side of the rug and "move rug" to reveal a trap
door below. "Oil bolt". "Undo bolt". "Open trap door" to walk down the steps.
Type "blow whistle" but don't press return yet. Walk between the left side of
the rocks at the left side of the door to enter the bat cave, and then quickly
press return to confuse the bats.
Walk through the opening at the left side of the cave to enter the mummy's
tomb. Start by walking to the left side of the left rock. The mummy will rush
toward Hugo but will stop at the right side of the rock. Now walk north
slightly until the mummy starts moving again, then quickly walk south so that
the mummy moves around to the left side of the rock and stays there. "Get gold"
and walk through the exit at the top-right corner of the tomb.
Walk over to the boat and "plug boat with bung". "Get in boat". "Cut rope with
knife". "Push" to float over to the old man at the other side of the lake.
