Overview

Splatterhouse is a sidescrolling action/adventure game in which the player controls Rick, a parapsychology student who was murdered by hideous creatures inside West Mansion (aka "Splatterhouse"). After his resurrection by the Terror Mask, Rick must make his way through the house fighting off hordes of creatures in an attempt to save Jennifer from a grisly fate.

Splatterhouse and its sequels are considered a pioneering series in the horror genre of gaming, which would later lead to the creation of the genre known as "survival horror".

Due to its violent nature as well as some questionable enemies, including the boss encountered in the fourth stage, an inverted cross, Splatterhouse was the first game to ever get a parental advisory disclaimer in 1988.
