Thanks to alison , I downloaded Phantasmat after years of not playing it and felt compelled to start a thread to discuss this magnificent HOPA game

I love the story, to my knowledge, there hasn't been a story like this one

I love the little squiggly phantasmal lights, flashback visions, and before/after graphics

I love the creepy (but repetitive) soundtrack, it brings back such fond memories
I love the randomness of the items in the HOS, a tentacle, a Raz, teddy bear, and avocado, or a lollipop, spider, and "red hair" Rolling Along

I'm amazed by the fact that you don't need a magnifying glass to find a tiny ring, yet have difficulty finding something twice the size?

I love the tiny interactions, and flashes of images during a HOS

I love that I have to backtrack, and have no clue when & where something will activate (unless I look at Tasks)

I love that I can enable Panoramic views and Grainy graphics!

I love that there are no directions, nothing to indicate you're supposed to solve a MG or that it even IS a MG

I love getting lost in the woods, love the creepy abandoned town and love the CE Codeminions but why only 3?

Most of all, I LOVE the story, did I already mention this?

My Gummy bear died
My Unicorn ran away
My Imaginary friend got kidnapped
The voices in my head aren't talking to me
I think I'm going SANE!

Best time to get on this one.

I just looked and I've got several of them. Can't remember if any of the rest were any good.

I'm playing. First thing I like about this game - and I haven't seen it in any other HOPA games before - that I can switch the HO scenes to M3. I'm not a big fan any of them in an adventure game, but I can see the M3 board better. :-*

The second thing is right off the bat the story makes sense, and there is no stupid use for the items I find - they are used/fit where they supposed to.
