Waxworks is a 1992 horror-themed first-person dungeon crawl video game developed by Horror Soft and published by Accolade for Amiga, Macintosh, and DOS. The game consists of the player traversing historically themed dungeons, solving puzzles and fighting enemies, in order to fix a curse that has been placed on the player character's family.
Waxworks was inspired by the 1988 film Waxwork.
Waxworks received positive to mixed reviews, with praises for the games graphic gore, horrific atmosphere and soundtrack but criticisms for the small dungeons and an overemphasis on combat mechanics, with mixed reactions for the game's graphics.
