Night of the Meteor

About

Night of the Meteor is a fan-made adventure where you explore a creepy Victorian mansion with Dr. Fred missing and Weird Ed lurking around. You play as a visitor who ends up trapped by Edna Edison, a nasty nurse who has been guarding the house since a meteor crash twenty years ago. The game lets you solve puzzles and talk to strange characters while trying to escape her clutches. It is a single player experience that relies on classic point-and-click mechanics without any modern shortcuts. The setting feels stuck in time with no dinner served for five years and a paramilitary son waiting for orders. Players often note the humor in Edna's hostile welcome and the odd family dynamic. The story does not change much between plays, which keeps the focus on the quirky dialogue and solving the mystery of why you are tied to the bed. This project from Edison Interactive offers a short but memorable break from big studio titles.
