To me this was always a classic adventure game.
Tons of witty dialogue (you can literally investigate every object and get a paragraph of funny, well written descriptions from the narrator). Solid, quality animation and music, killer hand drawn backgrounds.
I never see it mentioned in the same breath as any other Dynamix/Sierra/Lucasarts stuff from the era, what happened?
Was it the dogshit Sega CD port? I remember renting it and it having minute plus load times, a year later I saw the definitive PC CD version on the shelf and that's when I actually hammered down and beat it. There were some pretty obtuse examples of adventure game logic thoughday 2 baby sitter event

Crappy mechanics and messy story progression. Although I've only played it once 15 years ago

To me it never seemed fun to do household chores in real life, let alone a game.

Almost no one had a pc cdrom drive for 2 more years until Myst and 7th guest. Probably had a really short print run.

Seems like you watch Taco Man too.

loved this game, had the sega cd version
kept getting stuck in it so i kept calling the sierra 1-900 line they had at the time and got yelled at by my parents about it

All I know about this game comes from reading the hints sections of a magazine that explained how you deal with Spider. Also my brother saying our mom would never let us play it because it was a bad influence like the Simpsons.

Was lucky enough to have it on PC. The vampire babysitter used to scare the shit out of me when I was a kid.

I owned this on the Sega CD. It was a fun game but it had probably the worst load times of any game I have ever played which really hurt the experience. I really could have used a guide at the time. I got stuck and never bothered finishing it.
