It was created by <A HREF="mailto:5thman@cox.net" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:5thman@cox.net"><U>5thman</U></A> using RPG Maker 2003, and completed in late 2006. To date this is the only fan-made Splatterhouse game to reach completion that I am aware of, as earlier efforts like West Mansion Horror, Splatterhouse SE and Splatterhouse: The Mask Covenant (all of which are detailed here) have vanished into limbo, presumably never to be completed. Of course, there is that Visual Pinball Splatterhouse table that was made, but I don't count that as an actual fan game.</div> <bR> <div> Why did he do it? 5thman said recently: "This is an honest-to-god spite project. Somebody submitted an rm2k Splatterhouse game to West Mansion years ago (the aforementioned West Mansion Horror - Rob), and it was so completely terrible and so riddled with ineptitude that I made my own to show them up."</div> <bR> <div> 5th has included a SPLAT-egy Guide in the latest version of the game: if you downloaded it before 2/19/07, you may want to go back and get the new version - especially if you're stuck somewhere in the game. Also according to 5th: "The updated game has one major change: all the puzzle items and keys need to be equipped in order to use them, just like with the lighter (except the guilded key for the sake of tedium, and maybe one other constant-use item i've forgotten). That'll make the project just a tad more professionally done, I think."</div> <bR> <div> <B>Review and screenshots by </B><A HREF="mailto:axelay@ureach.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:axelay@ureach.com"><U><B>Rob</B></U></A><B> @ West Mansion</B></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
