Greory Horror Show. Where to begin? It's not a fast-paced, shoot-'em-up gore fest, instead it mostly relies on creepy music, FREAKY characters and and a very scary hotel.
The basic plot is: you're stuck in Gregory House,a hotel in another dimension. (This might explain why all the characters have square heads...) The owner of the hotel, Gregory a decrepit old mouse has trapped you in his "beautiful world of chaos" where all is not what it seems. You make a bargain with Death: if you collect all the Lost Souls that are in the hotel, he'll show you the way back.
However, the guests have stolen the souls and aren't going to give them back willingly. To steal those souls back, you've gotta have cunning. Peek through keyholes and listen to the guest's insane mumblings. Find out their weak point and then use it to get that soul! It may be easy at first, but it gets harder as the game progresses. Once you steal a soul off a guest, that guest will chase you. If he/she catches you, you will be put through torture,a "horror show" where the guest tortures you and makes it look like a show! This will be devastating on your "mental gauge" which indicates your strength of mind. If you lose your mind completely,you will be trapped in the hotel forever!
This game uses cartoon horror, but that doesn't mean it's not scary! The characters are strange and creepy, with the evil "nurse" Catherine, with her giant syringe, being the most scary. Other characters include "TV-fish" a fish with a tv for a head that shows your own memories, "Mummy dog" an insane dungarees-wearing canine who doesn't realise he's got an axe imbedded in his skull, and "Lost Doll", the girl with two faces, one an innocent little child crying for her lost doll, the other face the insane doll who torments her. And there are many other guests...
To summarise, this game is unique. It's addictive, fun and creepy, and at £20 it's a bargain!

i only got this game a few days ago, but from playing it so far i absolutely love it. the premise is this: you are a boy stuck in a strange hotel in another world. to escape, you muct collect the souls of the other guests in the hotel and give them to death, and he will free you from the hotel. on your way you will meet many other guests, some who will give up their souls easily, others will be much harder to get... some of the more interesting characters are catherine, a female lizard nurse with a giant syringe hoping to suck your blood, mummy papa, a dog with a sword stuck in his head, and cactus gunman, fairly self-explainitary. gameplay involves peeking through keyholes to keep a diary of all the other guests, running away from guest who want to torture you and solving puzzles. the game plays kind of like an interactive story, and a very good one at that. if your not a fan of slow gameplay then dont try this, it will take a while to get started. and it is kinda short, with only 12 souls to collect. apart from that give it a try, if its your cup of tea then you'll realise what a work of genius it is.

Fun:
Im a typical 12 year old girl, and this games rocks! I am a huge fan of GHS, and this game does Naomi Itawa's perfect anime justice. The games control needs a lil' getting used to. After all, this game isnt the fast paced kind of thing where your quick reaction is the key. Instead, there is LOTS of creeping round, with sudden bursts of panic as you escape an enraged guest.
It has most of your favourite guests, from the well-known Kathrine, to the less known My Son. And, fortunatly, it has my personal fav, Judgement Boy (YAY!), with a new take on his classic song. It now says "Do you know my name? JUDGEMENT!" (not as good, but still ace!) I wish they could have included a few more, however. I would have loved to see my 2nd favourite character, Dr Fritz.
The graphics are very good and smooth working. And the music has a lovely mix of suspence, terror and tension.
Infact, the only problem I really have is the voice changes. Most of the voice are the same as the anime, however there are some new ones that are, for the most part,good, but can get annoying. Cactus Girl has lost the ace accent, JB sounds overdramatic to the point of annoyance (still love him though ;))and James doesn't have that slightly whinny, very cute little boy voice.
I give this game a 5/5 and hope you buy it(it's rare so get when possible!)
