Lucifer's Manor (NES)

The Nintendo Entertainment System, one of the most classic and revolutionary consoles. Filled with iconic games such as Super Mario Bros, Metroid, and Duck Hunt. However inside the NES' vast array of games, there are some lesser known ones, and some peculiar ones. Such as a game called Lucifer's Manor. Lucifer's Manor was a game created by a small company called "The Brockletons". They were trying to make one of the very first horror games ever. They published the game in small quantities, so it is extremely hard to find a copy today.

If you do somehow find one to tell if it is legit look for these signs; first of all, it should look like a 2nd grader drew on the cart in art class. There also should be some scratches on the sides. These effects were addewd to make the games seem creepier. (although I dont see how bad drawings are creepy) Also the cart is black and it should have little red dots all over. Also if you somehow find the game, it is strongly advised that YOU DO NOT play the game. SInce I know at least one of you will find it and want to play it now, I'll break down what the game is about so you won't be so curious as to play the game.

The game starts out with The Brockletons' logo appearing on the screen, then it goes to the title. Some cheesy 8-bit "scary" music plays and the game starts. It shows the main character outside a Manor. You walk up to the door and open it. After that it is a first person perspective, which is surprising considering this came out in the begining of  the NES era. You then go down a hall and strange music plays. It sort of sounds like a screwed up version of Hungarian Rhapsody no.2. There are doors scattered around the walls, and there are scrambled latin text all across the walls. Every door has a different key. Once you find the key you leave the room and continue on to the next door. This process continues until exactly the 9th door. After you get the key from that door. The music starts getting softer, and softer, and soon all you can hear is white noise. Also the game starts looking worse and worse, as if the game is degrating right in front of you. then a face, which is thought to be the main character's, appears on the screen saying "Lucifer's Manor, and then a few words in latin which roughly translate to "Hell Awaits". After this the game crashes and all save data is lost.

Sometimes however, there is an occurence where the game doesn't crash and you are allowed to keep playing. When you keep on walking into the hall, you'll notice that the words start changing from latin to english saying nonsense like, "HE stole it, Dinner's ready!, and The ship is here!" However as you go farther through the hall the words get more, and more disturbing. Words such as, "Off with his head, Just kill me already, and spare me please!!" can also be seen sprawled across the walls. As you read the sentances you will see this frequent message, "Kiomu is here...". Nobody for sure knows who Kiomu is, or why she is mentioned so much. Sometimes as you are walking through the hallway a girl's face will show up on the wall and scream. This is who most people believe Kiomu is. You'll also notice the occasional bloodstains on the keys, and some mysterious writing in an unknown language inside the rooms. After the 15th room, the screen starts shaking and you move slowly. at this point the girl is shown full body infront of a far away door. You start moving slower and slower as she gets closer and closer until she's right in front of you, she screams and the screen goes black. You get back inside of a strange green room. When you open the door you'll notice you are in a completely different hallway. The walls are sprawled with hanging bodies with slash marks all on them. The music changes to a much creepier tune and the bodies start swaying. The words on the walls get worse and worse, saying phrases such as, "What type of cruel god would do this?, and "Let me out!!! Let me out!!!" There is also more mention of Kiomu, 'Kiomu is waiting for you" and "There is no escape from Kiomu".

Occasionally Kiomu will appear far away, watching your every move. The new doors you go into all have harder and harder spots to find the keys. After about 8 more doors the walls start glowing as if there's a fire. Once you move about 12 more doors you will see the main door. It is covered in spikes and on fire. Once you get all of the keys you walk over to the main door. They all get inserted in and the door opens, All it is, is a black room. Kiomu walks up says " I am the..." and the game crashes. All saves are lost and nobody knows what happens next.

Now that you know what happens you CANNOT play the game. The people that did all had different things happen to them. The people who didn't get to see the 2nd part had bad things happen to them. For some people their grades plummeted, or they simply got arrested for things they didn't do. Some were a bit worse, like their entire family would go broke or just in general had bad luck for the rest of the year. However, for the people who actually did see the second part. they all had much more severe problems. Some of the lucky people died, or had someone they loved die. For the most part, the other people would go insane, speaking of how Kiomu is hear to kill them and how she's torturing them. Some of them were even found hanging covered in slash marks. Obviously after that they stopped making the games and destroyed every copy they could find.

So if you ever find this game it is advised that you do not play it, and immediatly destroy it... unless you have a death wish...
