Synopsis

Mystery House is an adventure game published by On-Line Systems in 1980. It was designed, written and illustrated by Roberta Williams and programmed by Ken Williams for the Apple II. Mystery House is the first ever graphic adventure game and the first game produced by On-Line Systems, the company that would become Sierra On-Line. This is one of the first horror video games.

The game begins near an abandoned Victorian mansion. The player is quickly locked inside the house, with no choice but to explore it. The mansion contains many interesting rooms and seven other people: Tom, a plumber; Sam, a mechanic; Sally, a seamstress; Dr. Green, a surgeon; Joe, a gravedigger; Bill, a butcher; and Daisy, a cook.

Initially, the player must search the house in order to find a hiding place of jewelry. However, terrible events begin to occur and corpses begin to appear.
