There’s one idea I can think of that might make a re-make/sequel worth it. That is the idea of supporting real-time multi-player games. I’ve never seen that before with a PnC adventure game… Imagine choosing a kid, then finding 2 other kids in a virtual lobby to start a game with. It seems like it would be very complex to program, but how cool would it be to have 3 people wandering the mansion at the same time?
Of course there would have to be some kind of walkie-talkie feature so players can cooperate.
“I’ll stay outside and wait for Ed’s package, you two go explore the mansion.”
