As a child, you were never taught of your family's dark secret - a whole history of 'evil twins' doing
Satan's
work on Earth, and 'good twins' attempting to put this right. Your uncle informs you of this
shortly before
his death, and after travelling to his castle you find that you must travel through time to correct
these
wrongdoings. Through a range of murals at your uncle's house, various past scenes must be
entered,
with more becoming available as you complete them. In each you must find and kill your
demented
relative in time.

WaxWorks is a hybrid game that combines elements of role-playing and adventure. The player
explores
maze-like locations, manipulating objects and solving puzzles. Enemies appear from time to time
and
must be defeated using the various weapons found in the game. The player receives experience
points
and fathers equipment in a RPG fashion in each WaxWork; however, completing one negates
these
effects, and the protagonist becomes more defenseless in the next location. The game's controls
are point
and click, with the interface allowing the player to examine and collect items, select a weapon,
and attack
potential foes by striking at a particular part of their body.
