It's inspired by the film.įurther reinforcing the movie connection, in the same interview Woodroffe stated that the game was going to include a swordfight with Marquis de Sade (something that didn't make it into the finished game). Well, not 'based' so much, inspired really. Waxworks, which we're doing with Accolade, is based on the film of the same name. Michael Woodroffe stated this in a 1992 pre-release interview ( Zero, February 1992, page 55): The game was heavily inspired by the 1988 movie Waxwork, set in a wax museum where visitors get sucked into horror-themed exhibits. The game's controls are point and click, with the interface allowing the player to examine and collect items, select a weapon, and attack potential foes by striking at a particular part of their body. The player receives experience points and fathers equipment in a RPG fashion in each WaxWork however, completing one negates these effects, and the protagonist becomes more defenseless in the next location. Enemies appear from time to time and must be defeated using the various weapons found in the game. The player explores maze-like locations, manipulating objects and solving puzzles. WaxWorks is a hybrid game that combines elements of role-playing and adventure. In each you must find and kill your demented relative in time. Through a range of murals at your uncle's house, various past scenes must be entered, with more becoming available as you complete them. Your uncle informs you of this shortly before his death, and after travelling to his castle you find that you must travel through time to correct these wrongdoings.
