Adventure Soft is an English development studio founded by Mike Woodroffe. As the name suggests, they mostly developed point-and-click adventure titles. They are probably best known for developing Simon the Sorcerer.
When the company was developing horror-themed adventure games, they used the moniker Horror Soft. These were most notably the Elvira trilogy; Elvira: Mistress of the Dark, Elvira II: The Jaws of Cerberus, and WaxWorks. They also made a lesser-known title named Personal Nightmare.
