The game promised "new and soon-to-be-memorable characters," inspiring anticipation that it would expand beyond the original board game. Care was taken in rendering the location backgrounds, "even down to the moving reflections in the shiny hallway floor of the mansion". The Boston Herald called it a "grown-up" twist on the franchise's familiar theme. Unlike its predecessors, Clue Chronicles "leaves the board game 'feel' behind and transforms into a murder mystery adventure game". However, the series was cancelled when "Hasbro folded and EAI quit the gaming business". Clue was "riding a new wave of popularity," and Fatal Illusion was intended to be the first installment of a series of three Clue Chronicles mysteries. Two Clue video games were released during the 1990s: Clue, for SNES and Sega Genesis, and Clue: Murder at Boddy Mansion for PC. The game was distributed with a variety of covers, each featuring a different murder weapon. It is a reinterpretation and adaption of the Clue board game as an adventure game including many of the original characters. Clue Chronicles: Fatal Illusion (subtitled Mystery Series: Episode One and alternatively known as Clue Chronicles Episode 1: The Fatal Masque) is a Windows point-and-click adventure game based on the Cluedo franchise, known as Clue in North America.
