Oldy Goldy 5 stars [Posted on 2001-06-21]
This is my favorite first person style RPG that I have ever played. This game has a great story, great cut scenes, combinations of mythlodogy with scifi, and more. I keep hoping that they will come out Part II.

A classic in every sense. [Posted on 2002-09-25]
This game is from 1996, and was released in the US in 1997. It is basically a first person shooter, but has a compelling story that drives it. There are video cut-scenes which for the first time I can remember do not get in the way, and greatly enhance the atmosphere. And speaking of atmosphere, this game has it in spades. The first time I started it up, I was immediately struck by the spooky setting. I was in a room in a mansion with thunder and lightning outside. It was night, and looking out the window of the room I was in, the trees and shrubs were blowing in the wind. You begin by exploring the house. There is action in the game, but not at every turn, which I liked, since it added to the suspense. The game is made by the same people that did "Normality", and it uses an enhanced version of the Normality 3D engine. This technology is old, to be sure. It doesn't use a 3D accelerator, but the developers used the engine to its utmost, creating completely immersive and beautiful settings with it. This is one of the scariest games I have ever played. I recently dug it out again and installed it on one of my newer computers. I have tried it with both Win 95 and 98 and it runs great in either. Considering that I had never heard of it before, I was greatly impressed by the quality of this game. A lot of time and effort obviously went into this. And the credits in the wonderful manual show a lot of people were involved in its creation. Great use of mood, setting, sound, music, and actors. Highly recommended. This is not a twitch shooter. It's more like an FPS crossed with an adventure game, since you must figure things out. But solutions are logical. If you can score a copy, do it!

Absolutely riveting. [Posted on 2003-04-22]
Although it starts out looking like something from Colecovision, with half an hour's patience things start to really cook. Before you know it, you're battling a horde of demons in a journey through multiples planes of existence, and battling to stave off Armageddon.

Gameplay is first-rate, the puzzles ranging from challenging to brain-wracking. And I guarantee you WILL be frightened at times by this game.

Truly the most amazing RPG ever produced, bar none.

The producer/director definetly scared my pants off. A part II would be really fun.

One of my favorite games. [Posted on 2008-06-17]
One of Interplay's best games. I played the demo and was sucked into the story. I ran out and bought the full version that same day. Its a very long game and the controls could have been a bit better but it has everything that it takes to make a great game.
