Brain Dead 13 is an animated adventure game that uses the same style of gameplay as Dragon's Lair and Space Ace. You play as Lance, a computer repairman who has been summoned to the castle of Dr. Nero Neurosis, a talking brain that lives in a vat of goo. There you are pursued by cartoon villains -- mainly Fritz, a half-man, half-animal henchman who has a ton of weapons in his overcoat and takes a lot of physical abuse. This is a point-and-click game where you have to consistently react in order to get yourself out of danger or you will be killed in some comically violent way.
The showdown is on... Fritz the half-human, half-pet of Dr. Neurosis is instructed to dispose of you. The frantic adventure races through the evil playground of the demented Doctor's twisted castle. Battle Moose, Vivi the Vamp, the Evil Iris Sisters and other mishaps of science until you reach the Chamber of the Brain where only the most cunning will triumpth!
BrainDead 13 features orchestrated didgital sound and breathtaking animation so interactive, it'll blow your mind!
It is up to the player to use the complex moves of an interactive movie to escape from the castle. This animated adventure is basically based on the player's judgment on which direction you think the character might go, and if the player guesses wrong, death.
PLOT:
Lance, a young computer expert, is called to fix a computer at a scary, dilapidated castle. After repairing a large super-computer, Lance learns that his client, the disembodied brain of Dr. Nero Neurosis, has a diabolical plan to take over the world. He quickly finds himself in trouble, being chased around the castle by Dr. Nero Neurosis's psychotic servant Fritz.
The player must guide Lance through the castle in order to defeat Dr. Neurosis and escape with his life.
CHARACTERS:
- Lance Galahad is a young computer expert and a human player character. He has long red hair and a baseball cap. He is an avid video game junkie, and he also has a minor bit of a smart mouth. Voiced by Riccardo Durante.
- Dr. Nero Neurosis is a mad doctor, now a disembodied brain, whose villainous goal is to rule the world. He gets his revenge on Lance by sending Fritz off to kill him at the beginning of the game, which is because of insulting him by mistaking him for "average" (though he was planning to kill Lance from the beginning anyway simply to avoid paying for his repair job). Voiced by Dave Quesnelle.
- Fritz is a hunchbacked little imp with hooks for hands, who carries an array of his deadly gadgets that he uses to kill Lance. His apparent lack of brains doesn't prevent him from being a lethal adversary. Lance is pursued by him throughout the game. He is Dr. Neurosis' "pet" and diligently follows all orders given to him. Voiced by Joe Giampapa, though Fritz doesn't speak in any languages at all, but only in grunts and gibberish.
- Vivi is a curvaceous, vampiric vixen with a Southern belle accent who runs a "funeral salon". It is generally an excuse for her to dismember or suck the blood of unwary or unwilling patrons, like Lance. Voiced by June Brown.
- Moose is a big, dumb, Frankenstein's Monster-like giant, who spouts various sports phrases and wields a baseball bat and a football. Moose is encountered as one of the seven "boss" sequences. Voiced by Blayne Burnside.
