![]() The only way to lift the curse is to enter each Waxwork and dispatch the evil twin brother hiding in each. It turns out that, long ago, a witch cursed our character's family, making every twin brother evil. Not least since someone - or something - has locked the door. In spite of the Waxworks name, there are no wax-related deaths in the game, rather your adventure takes place within the confines of a waxworks, sort of: Long ago, your ancestor caught an old gypsy stealing one of his chickens and cut off one of her hands. Apparently smashing his crystal ball and getting the hell out of there isn't an option. Our late Uncle Boris appears to us in Wonky Spiritvision(TM) to offer us a quest. Looks the whole 'Waxworks Management Sim' deal is out of the window. Then we can get the Waxworks up and running, perhaps turn a nice profit and.

I played this on the amiga years ago, loved horrorsoft games despite being on the more difficult side. I'm not kidding about the NWS thing - there are some pretty gruesome scenes in this game.
