Uninvited is a "point and click" adventure game for the IBM-PC and Macintosh computers. It was released in 1986 by ICom Simulations. A version for the Nintendo Entertainment System was released in 1991. Shortly thereafter a complete rewrite for Microsoft Windows was released. The game uses the same interface and engine that was introduced in ICom's earlier game Deja Vu. The unnamed hero must find his way through an abandoned house in order to rescue his younger brother (sister in the NES game). As he does he learns to use magic and discovers the sinister secrets of the house's former inhabitants. The game was notable as the only one in ICom's library that took place in the present day.
For some time it was claimed that there would be a sequel on the NES, but it never materialized. Employees at Infinite Ventures (what remains of ICom) indicate that no such game was ever planned.
