Play Uninvited Online

I first played Uninvited on the Nintendo Entertainment System back in 1989, a game from Icom Simulations. It arrived during a time when the NES library was expanding beyond platformers and into more experimental genres. This one stood out as a point and click style adventure, a type of game that felt different from the usual action titles on the console.

You control a character searching a haunted mansion after a car crash, with the main goal being to find your missing brother and escape. The gameplay involves moving screen by screen through the mansion, using a cursor to examine objects and pick up items for your inventory. You solve puzzles by combining these items and typing simple verb commands, all while avoiding or dealing with various supernatural threats. The pacing is deliberate, and the puzzles can be quite difficult, often requiring careful observation and logical thinking. Navigating the eerie, silent halls creates a constant feeling of unease and suspense.
