Williams believed that using actors to create a live action game was crucial for a suspenseful horror game.ĭuring the development of King’s Quest VII: The Princeless Bridge, Williams started the development of a new game which would become Sierra’s most ambitious project to date. After placing her vision for a horror game on hold several times she began to revisit the idea in 1992 after CD-ROM technology became faster and could better handle full-motion video. Williams was a fan of horror movies and wanted to create a horror video game for eight years prior to the development of Phantasmagoria however after creating a few preliminary designs she felt that computer hardware and software technology did not reach the point where it could produce an effective and frightening horror game. She had ambitions to create a game with a lot of substance and deep emotions, something that was never done before. She became best known for designing the King’s Quest fantasy adventure series and did not want to become typecasted to one genre. Williams is one of the most influential video game designers of the 1980s & 1990s and has been credited with creating the graphic adventure genre.
