The game garnered mostly favorable opinions regarding its gameplay and the player's ability to change camera views, though reviewers widely disapproved of its short length and slow frame rate. It has enjoyed positive commentary for its sound design and achievement of 3D graphics on a home console. In spite of the game's single region-exclusivity, Doctor Hauzer has been reviewed by several publications outside Japan and has been met with an overall average critical reception. These characteristics were carried over into Riverhillsoft's next game, OverBlood. However, Doctor Hauzer is the first of this genre to include fully 3D environments that the player can explore while freely swapping between third-person, first-person, and top-down perspectives. The game tasks the player with navigating the large mansion by collecting useful items, solving various puzzles, and avoiding deadly traps.ĭoctor Hauzer has stark graphical and gameplay similarities with early titles in the Infogrames survival horror series Alone in the Dark, which feature 3D polygonal characters and objects set against fixed, pre-rendered backgrounds. The player takes on the role of Adams Adler, a newspaper reporter investigating a mansion for clues to the whereabouts of the eponymous Hauzer, a famed archeologist who has mysteriously disappeared.

Doctor Hauzer is a 1994 survival horror- adventure video game developed by Riverhillsoft and published in Japan by Panasonic for the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer.
