Summary
The Addams Family is a platform game inspired by the characters and world of the film, which itself is based on the iconic 1960s TV show, which in turn originated from Charles Addams’ classic cartoons of the same name that first appeared in *The New Yorker* magazine in the 1930s. The game is set toward the conclusion of the movie: the Addams Family has been forced out of their home by a court order handed down by the treacherous lawyer Tully Alford. To make matters worse, the rest of the family—Morticia, Pugsley, Wednesday, Granny, and Lurch—are missing. As Gomez, you must explore the Addams mansion in search of your missing loved ones, fighting off strange creatures and avoiding deadly traps, all while preparing for the final showdown with your archenemy, Tully.
Storyline
Tully Alford, the Addams Family's attorney, has seized control of their eerie Gothic estate and locked up Morticia Addams, Pugsley Addams, Wednesday Addams, Granny, and Uncle Fester. As Gomez Addams, the player navigates through the mansion's many rooms, gathering objects and fighting off creatures, with the goal of rescuing all the captured family members. The game features an almost entirely open-world structure, a rarity for titles from that time, allowing players to decide the order in which they rescue each family member. Nevertheless, Gomez must save the rest of the family before he can free Morticia.
