Quite Quakey/Descent to Undermountain-y, in terms of colour scheme at least.

Thanks sneg, gog and devs/other important folks involved in releasing this beast once more. What a great game that is I say... I'm gonna joke a bit here which I often dont go but lemme state that these adventures date from a time back when gaming wasn't so lowbrow and people had (a bit more dare I say) brains instead of just some dense mass tapioca pudding. Nostalgia is a cold liar I know but that's how I see it.

Yes yes Azrael is from 96 and we were witnessing the birth of 3d "bing bing wahoos" (to each their own!) into the wild but nonetheless this is just a superb re-release. Wildy underrated game so don't look at scores from back then. What's next, sneg? 9: the last resort? Midway? WHO KNOWS! ;P

cheers!!!

As far as I know this was one of the pioneers of the "immersive" sim genre. A weird (but really functional) mixture of FPS, puzzle game, point'n click, stealth, etc... 3 years before Deus Ex.
With an interesting plot and very solid aesthetics. I'd say that this - like Ultima Underworld and other games in the history of videogaming - tried to go where no-one had yet tried to go.
The only cons (at least at the time of the release) was that the 3D graphics were very demanding in tech terms. Which was circumvented by the small game screen (which also doesn't help a lot, making the game a bit clunky).

Personally I think the game's a bit an "UFO". Weird and experimental, but very playable. If anyone really likes things which try to escape the "norm", then try this. Just don't forget that it's a 1996 game, working on 1996 tech.

EDIT: the game features combat (although not really that much, if memory serves me well). So people who are more into a relaxing experience and hate action in their adventure games should be careful.

This is a very different and very unusual game. I haven't played it since the nineties but it has always stuck in my mind. I had read years ago that it might be coming to GOG but at this point I had given up hope that we would ever see it.

Thank you so much for this!

What the heck?
Instabuy! :O

Holy Moly! I didn't think I will ever see this one here! Thumbs up from me SNEG & GOG, more games like this please!

finally some good fuckin food, I mean an old game :D

Think about the 3D homemade engine used in the game as something between Ultima Underworld and Tex Murphy series (Realms of the Haunting maybe?), in an era where Quake eclipsed everything.

It is a very good inmersive adventure game, with outdated controls and a performance no better than when the game was released. it is obviously not as advanced engine as quake, without real lighting and with the shadows and light and darkness bundled into the own brownish and darkish textures. and designed in mind with mouse navigation like Ultima underworld.

The matter is that all is designed to be very original, pretty experimental and avant garde for the era. An experimental, playable and fun (if you inmerse yourself in 1996 and their control contexts).

Indeed one more worthy underrated classic.

My recommendation for interested people is to watch a very competent video on this game by Gilgamechasaur on Youtube:

Personally, I think they should do a complete Remake of this thing.
Or, alternatively, a fan mission for Thief...

I know the tags on GOG are...questionable, but "TPP"? It's clearly first-person.

I was thinking the exact same thing!

Besides that, it's on the wish list!

Wow, didn't see that name for a very long time. Big suprise. I dare to say that I'm more pleased with this obscure relese than Devil May Cry. Good job!

Me too :)
