History VideoGame / Uninvited

*** There is one EXTREMELY easy to miss line in one of the diaries, very much a blink-&-miss it, that states that Dracan's power is immense [[spoiler:but "his spirit is weak" and that he is very vulnerable to evil spirits, but otherwise is the ONLY piece of foreshadowing to the final demonic spirit in the game]].

* AntiVillain: While most of the things that inhabit the mansion are murderous or otherwise evil, there are three creatures (the Blothney Gem guardian, a blue guardian, and a cookie monster) in it that the game considers strange, but they are not willing to kill the player character and mainly block the way, which will leave if you leave each one their desired food.

* ArtifactOfDeath: The ruby in the NES version, where holding it causes you to slowly become possessed. The original game, which has a time limit running throughout the game, doesn't have the ruby at all. It's possible to pick up the ruby ''and'' dispose of it, but given the strict timing, it's better to just leave it alone.

* TheMaze: Hidden in the chapel is a rather large maze filled with zombies.

A 1986 AdventureGame which is the second game in the ''VideoGame/MacVenture'' series by Creator/ICOMSimulations for UsefulNotes/AppleMacintosh, later ported to the UsefulNotes/{{NES}} among other systems. Known for its NightmareFuel involving TheManyDeathsOfYou.

The game was also included as part of a CompilationRerelease titled ''8-bit Adventures: Volume 1'' for UsefulNotes/PlayStation4 and UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} on Oct. 31, 2017.

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, this example was removed. Please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

* TooDumbToLive: The game tries it's ''hardest'' to warn you about a GiantSpider when you come across a trapdoor. Eventually, the game gives up warning you not to go down there and lets you in...

** Also, if you unlock the secret passageway in the laboratory and head north,you encounter the same giant spider in the den that can only be stopped by Stillini spell.

** At the very end, when the door slams behind you, how to reach your sibling in:the room above the bathroom. (Flood the bathtub, and keep "using" the light fixture until it comes free.)

* GiantSpider: Amusingly enough (and in perhaps the only example in the entire [=MacVenture=] series), the game warns you multiple times that leaping into the den of the resident Giant Spider will probably be a bad idea. Ignoring the warnings leads to you being eaten, prefaced by the humorously patronizing message "Well, what do you know; it's a giant spider."

* PressXToDie: You are given many, many, many warnings that leaping into the den of the resident GiantSpider is a bad idea. Ignoring these leads to your well-deserved death.

** Which, when combined with her [[BrotherSisterIncest flirtatious gestures]] upon being rescued, [[ValuesDissonance just raises more questions]] about the target audience...

* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: Killing your brother results in the demon escaping from him and taking over your mind, which leads to a game over.

* MoonLogicPuzzle: Seriously, how would you know that a ghost servant [[spoiler:would be afraid of spiders]]? The hintsheet suggests it's because it's the reason why he [[spoiler:keeps his room so clean in an otherwise old and cobwebby home]], but that's a real stretch.

* MoonLogicPuzzle: Seriously, how would you know that a ghost servant [[spoiler:would be afraid of spiders]]?

* GameOverMan: A skull that shows up every time you die. '''"I GOT YOU!"'''

* TheCorruption: A malignant force is gradually seeping into you and driving you insane, making the whole game a TimedMission. Except in the NES version, where this only happens if you [[spoiler:pick up the ruby.]]
