Nightmare Mansion is full of ghosts and zombies that will drain your vital energy by their very presence. To dispel these creatures and make the Terrometer go down, you are armed with a sub-compact anti-matter Phantom splatterer, whose gun sight is controlled completely independently of your movement. Your purpose in exploring this evil-infested place is to claim the reward offered by Professor Twilight, the mansion's owner, and to rescue your twin brother, [[AwesomeMcCoolname Chud Studbuckle]], who got lost inside.
