Nobody has started a thread about this yet.
Remarks
Brian Howarth recalls: "I came up with this title, along with any advertising synopsis associated, but never got any traction on the project - so it never came to fruition". The basic concept bears a striking resemblance to "Lone Survivor", a text adventure for Commodore 64 that Brian released in 1985.

DODGE THOSE DASTARDLY DUMMIES! Two new adventure titles have been added to the already large range of Mysterious Adventures from Digital Fantasia. The first, Wax Works, is a gruesome nightmare adventure set in a deserted wax works museum. Trapped in the building, you become more and more anxious as night falls and dark shadows start creeping across the museum. Your worst fears are soon confirmed - the wax works exhibits are moving! The wax dummies are after your blood. You'll have to right your way out past Jaws IV the shark and dodge the arrows of a wee reincarnation of Robin Hood. The second game, After the Fire, is a survival adventure set in a Britain devastated by nuclear weapons. You're one of the few remaining survivors who hasn't succumbed to radiation sickness. Many horrors await you as you travel across the radiation-polluted wastelands on your journey to find more survivors in an attempt to start rebuilding the ravaged society. Wax Works and After the Fire are available from Digital Fantasia for the BBC and Spectrum computers for £3.95. Both Spectrum versions work with the Currah Speech Synthesiser
