Ash enters the cabin...

Comments:

A simple looking game based on Sam Raimi's feature film directorial debut. The idea of the game is that you play Ash and must run around the Cabin closing all the windows thereby stopping more evil monsters from getting in. Once you have done this you must destroy all the monsters inside the cabin. You do this with weapons that appear in random places all around the cabin. Beware though as the more you use the weapon the more your energy decreases. You must keep collecting new weapons to replenish energy. Also beware as when you hit an enemy it will fall into bits and these bits will continue to attack you. Once you have built up enough points the Book Of The Dead will appear. You must grab it and throw it in the fire to win! The game looks and sounds very basic indeed but is worth a go for Evil Dead fans!
