 Phantasmagoria is an interactive movie point @-@ and @-@ click adventure game which features live @-@ action actors and footage , both during cinematic scenes between the gameplay and within the three @-@ dimensional rendered environments of the game itself . The game was made when interactive movie games were at the peak of their popularity , with the release of such popular computer games as Wing Commander III and Under a Killing Moon . A single @-@ player game , the player controls protagonist Adrienne Delaney , who is always on the screen . The player can click certain areas of the screen to control her movements or make her explore specific places and objects . The camera angles or rooms change depending on where the player moves Adrienne . The game includes only four mouse commands : look ( which changes to " talk to " when selecting a person ) , pick up item , use item , and walk . The mouse cursor is always an arrow , which is different from most earlier Sierra On @-@ Line games in which the cursor could be changed into different functions ( like walk , hand , and eye ) by clicking the right mouse button . The cursor turns red when it passes over an action where the user can click to perform an action . Once the action has been completed , the cursor will not turn red again . Objects in the game can be picked up by clicking on them or interacting with them in a film sequence , after which the item automatically goes into the inventory . If an object is small enough that it can be easily missed , a pulsing glow occasionally surrounds it to draw attention to it .
