 A Phantasmagoria sequel , Phantasmagoria : A Puzzle of Flesh ( 1996 ) , was released by Sierra a year after the original . It was written and designed by Lorelei Shannon , Roberta Williams ' design partner on King 's Quest VII . Williams was not involved with it , and the game featured a very different tone and completely different characters , with no direct connection to the storyline of the first game . Shannon said the original game was a haunted house story in the style of a " late night creature feature " , while her game has more science @-@ fiction and fantasy horror elements , in the style of the works of Clive Barker and Tanith Lee . Roberta Williams said both she and her husband Ken enjoyed the sequel . A preview for A Puzzle of Flesh was included in the first CD of the original Phantasmagoria game .
