Hi,

after being called too old by a hot 18-something I'm struggling with the onset of an early mid-life crisis and suddenly feel the need to relive some old memories and go through a long list of to-dos before I kick the bucket. I'm 34 after all.

I remember a somewhat hidden and obscure museum game that I connect to Shadow of a Comet. I feel as if it was some shareware placed in the Shadow of a Comet folder / disk, or actually part of the game experience, just kinda outsite of the game. Graphics felt similar, controls just as shit. There was not much interaction, just walking through empty museum halls and looking at exhibits. The atmosphere was of the eery, creepy type. I've always felt that there was more to it than met the eye and now I want to know. I must know.

So, does anybody remember anything like that? Or is it in fact some teenage lunacy that crept into me while playing Shadow of a Comet at a way too young age?

Please help me solve this mystery that will otherwise haunt my family for generations.

It is part of the CD version of Shadow of the Comet (also the version sold on GOG). I must have spent more time in the Lovecraft Museum as a child than in the main game.
Just launch MUSEUM.EXE to relive your childhood !

By the way, I replayed it last year and Shadow of the Comet is still the best Cthulhu game, despite all its flaws.

Thanks! It's good to know my memory hasn't failed me yet. Have long lost the original CD, so I guess I'll have to grab the gog version.

Since you seem an expert on it, is there actually a game behind the Lovecraft Museum, any hidden secrets?
