An adventure in a haunted mansion that is built around moving from room to room and finding items and secrets, and reasonably priced.

Electronic Gaming Monthly called it an interesting first-person game with fluid graphics and great sound effects, in which you move from room to room in a big mansion looking for items and hidden secrets, and said fans of the type would be interested.

Before you buy
The US disc sits around the middle on price among North American Sega CD games. The European disc, titled Yumemi Mystery Mansion, usually costs noticeably more and needs a European Mega-CD; the Japanese disc usually costs far less and needs a Japanese one. Check that the title on the disc matches the case, and look at the printed label.
