The last of three weird ports of those crazy computer point-and-click games, Uninvited
is the most scare-tacular super story to ever grace the Nintendo. In fact, it is so scary that
it was almost like the Resident Evil for the time, complete with terrible controls and
boring characters. Since this game is similar to the other two Kemco ports, Shadowgate
and Deja Vu, there ain't much I can add to this review. You can just check those
reviews out. However, I'm not that lazy, so I'm going to do my damndest to make this as
interesting as possible, and as informative.

"Holy crap, I'm a house?"

The story of Uninvited is as follows: you are a unisex unnamed person that has a sister.
You can drive a car. Suddenly, you crash and pass out. When you wake up, your sister is gone!
Holy crap, she disintegrated! Oh, no, she might have just disappared or something. So... I'm
bored already. You get out of the car, and BAM, herpes. Okay, not herpes, but your car explodes
because cars do that all the time. Instead of actually SHOWING the car explode, though, you
see a flashing white light and some text at the bottom of the screen making some humorous joke
about how you won't need to pay for a tow truck. Ha ha ha! That breaks the ice in the casual
friendship that the game tries to invoke to you, the player. Unfortunately, Uninvited
eventaully becomes the kind of game you'll lose under your bed and won't actually go crazy
searching for later. Actually, Uninvited is my favorite of the three point-and-click
games, in that when I first played through it, I was listening to "Heartbreak Beat" by the
Psychedelic Furs in a continuous loop, and it ran through my head over and over and over...
So now, whenever I play that game, I think of the heartbreak beat playing on and on down
the street. AND IT FEELS LIKE LOVE!
Um... You know what? I know I've done this review twice already with the other two games, so
for the rest of the review, I'll present to you my favorite "Game Over" sequence. Well, second
favorite, that is. The Wacky Races Game Over sequence is still the best ever made, because
even if you did lose, the game made you laugh with the antics of Dick Dastardly punching Muttley
in the head. So... Enjoy this presentation!
You know, I haven't done a "review comic" in a while. That was pretty neat. I should do those
more often, but then again, maybe I won't. You probably know how lazy I am, right? Right.
So, to review, Uninvited is the same damn game as Deja Vu and Shadowgate,
only it has crazy skeleton chicks that rip you to pieces. That's what I call a sticky situation!
