Ever wondered what would happen if The Phantom of the Opera got his hands on a time machine, a vengeful streak, and a point-and-click interface? In Return of the Phantom, you step into the well-shined shoes of Inspector Raoul Montand, a man with more dramatic flair than the Phantom himself. You’ll time-travel, flirt awkwardly, and ask suspects about everything multiple times. The game has lush rotoscoped graphics and enough Parisian mystique to make a croissant jealous. It’s part musical mystery, part fever dream, and all Sierra-style pixel death. Save early, save often—lest you be doomed to replay that opera box scene... again.

Return of the Phantom review
Computer Gaming World (1993): "Yet, in all, I enjoyed pitting wits against the Opera Ghost. Phantom offers a plot with a twist, one that comes full circle without being predictable. It offers interesting dialogue (when it's not spoken, see the sidebar) and is pleasant to the eyes and cars. What it doesn't offer is inspired puzzle design or extended play. If a player values story over puzzles and low impact gaming over an exhausting cerebral workout, Phantom is worth a look (even more so with a discounted price tag). Others would be better off seeking a different marquee."
