About this game

Waxworks overview

The terror began when you were eight and your twin brother Alex vanished into the black maze of mine tunnels beneath Vista forge – the home of your Uncle Boris’ demon-filled Waxworks.

Twenty years later… Uncle Boris dies, leaving you his collection of fiendish displays – and the stupefying news that Alex is alive. Possessed by a 500 year old family curse, your brother schemes to resurrect the undead denizens of…

Five blood-soaked worlds of the past, present and future. 19th Century London, ancient Egypt, an abandoned mine shaft, a haunted cemetery and the malevolent chambers of the Waxworks itself.

Your only hope to save Alex lies in removing the curse of the witch Ixona. And a courage you’re not sure you possess.
