The controversy it managed to accrue, such as being banned outright in Australia and not being carried by Wal-Mart, were second only to the praise it received at the time of it's release. But outside the technical spectacle of the game, the plot itself was also something revolutionary for the time with it's gruesome scenes of murder, sexuality, and strong thematic elements. Released in the summer of 1995, the PC title Phantasmagoria was a ground breaking title not only for Sierra On-line (Sierra mostly having been known for it's much more comedic or fantasy based Quest series games Phantasmagoria was only the second title to reach into really 'adult' territory being beaten by a year by Gabriel Knight) but also for computer games as a whole with it's dramatic usage of full motion video and actors (Phantasmagoria is stated as being the first video game title to use a completely FMV modeled avatar for the player's control). Please try to keep spoilers at a minimal, especially be considerate of those that aren't knowing what true horrors lie in wait for the future.
