La Mansión

Author:Sebastián Armas
Genres:Mystery
Science Fiction
Released:2005
Review:

La Mansión es una historia típica tópica, no de mansiones encantadas, sino de la casa del típico científico loco, sociópata y asesino de chicas guapas con las que hacer experimentos, tipo separar su cabeza del cuerpo y mantenerla con vida (la cabeza), de los años sesenta. El autor lo reconstruyó en informATE! como ejercicio de aprendizaje sobre un juego realizado en su adolescencia, y por tanto es un juego sin mayores pretensiones. Aunque es muy divertido, y dentro de la locura que es una casa donde a cada paso hay una trampa mortal, es un juego lógico y bien implementado. Se mezcla el gore, la ciencia ficción, el misterio en un entorno gótico, con el humor negro.

English review:

La Mansión, The Mansion for our english friends is a tipical topic story of... not of enchanted mansions, instead is about the tipical house of a sciencist madman, sociopath and killer of beatiful girls for make experiments, like cut her head from the body and keep it alive (the head), in the 60'. The author rebuild the game like a learning exercice of informATE! from a previous game of him early youth, so it's a unpretentious game but really funny and such a madness with a step by step mouse-trap, it's a logic game and well implemented. It mix the gore, terror, and sci-fi in a gothic house with black humor.
