"Hugo's House of Horrors" is a computer game released in 1990. Gray Design Associates (GDA) created a parser-based adventure game, reminiscent of the Sierra Entertainment "Quest" games (such as King's Quest and Space Quest). The game is also a strange and unique adventure into the realm of tongue-in-cheek comedy.

In the game, the player controls the protagonist, Hugo, who has come to a haunted house to look for his girlfriend Penelope, who hasn't been seen since she went to babysit there.The premise bears similarity to LucasFilm Games' "Maniac Mansion", released in 1987, where the main character enters a mansion in order to rescue his girlfriend from a mad scientist.

The player moves Hugo around by using the arrow keys on the keyboard, and controls his actions by entering commands on the keyboard (or, in the later-released Windows version, one can use the mouse).

In 1991 GDA released a sequel, "Whodunit?", and in 1992 a third installment, "Jungle of Doom". "Nitemare 3-D", a game that came out in 1994, is arguably the fourth (and so far final) installment of the Hugo series, though "Nitemare 3-D", instead of being an adventure game, is a "Wolfenstein 3D" clone, in which Hugo ventures into the haunted mansion to rescue Penelope by shooting enemies with various guns. The Hugo Trilogy can also be found on The Complete Encyclopedia of Games for DOS.
