Her face and her scoop neck surely remind you something, Elvira is an American TV star, sexy icon of horror films mysteriously unknown in France. This game is an adaptation of the eponymous film released in the late 80s.
Elvira asks you to save and find a chest containing a powerful spell, only able to defeat the evil Queen Emelda, whom she has inadvertently awakened while redecorating her huge castle . . .
You progress in a first person view in a horrific universe. The interface is simple to use: just click on objects to pick them up and use the arrows on the left to move. The exploration of the dungeon is interspersed with real time battle scenes and, as in any self-respecting role-playing game, your character evolves over his victories. Immersion is enhanced by digitized pictures and voices.
Finally, this game is a success, which is not so common when a movie invites itself on computer.
