I remember playing this game all night on my Epson PC, and call my boss in the morning to tell him I had the flue, so I could finish it. Amazing game, so different from anything else at the time...

I fell in love with this game at first sight, the unusual look of the characters, the crunching of gravel as you walk, the weird and wonderful creatures even that annoying werewolf added to the charm of this classic. Played this on an old Fujitsu PC that had a 3x speed CD-rom, Monitor that buzzed loudly and fights over who had the pc for the day.... ah the good old days of gaming.

This is one that I discovered years ago from a video by RagnarRox and I thought it looked like a neat little piece of PC gaming obscurity. Unfortunately there hasn't been a release on modern hardware in any official capacity, so I haven't been able to check it out myself. I certainly think it warrants a spot on the storefront.

This game is oppressive and eerie. Missing Link between Alone in The Dark and Resident Evil series. I remember it wasn't the greatest game to play with its wonky control scheme. But I 'd still love to go back and see weird world of Elliptica... Ecstatica it is.

I loved this game! The ellipsoid graphics crafted an unsettling, eerie atmosphere, further amplified by the fact that everyone—and everything—you encountered felt either strange or outright hostile. A fantastically atmospheric experience that I’d love to revisit along with its sequel which I never got around to playing!

First game I ever played, used to take turns playing it with my brother - heavy nostalgia - the camera angles added to keeping you on the edge of your seat. I've struggled to find a game like it.

MediEvil
MediEvilMediEvil is an action-adventure game developed by SCE Cambridge Studio and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. Originally released in 1998 for the PlayStation, the game follows Sir Daniel Fortesque, a skeletal knight accidentally resurrected to battle the sorcerer Zarok and save the kingdom of Gallowmere. The game takes place across a variety of levels, many of which require certain objectives to be performed to progress. Sir Daniel Fortesque can use a variety of weapons, consisting of close range weapons such as swords and clubs to long range weapons such as crossbows. Many of these weapons can be charged for a powerful attack and some weapons, such as the club, can be used to access areas that are otherwise inaccessible. When not possessing any items, Dan is able to rip his own arm off and use it for both melee and ranged attacks. Dan can equip a shield alongside weapons to defend against attacks; though they can only take several hits of damage before breaking. Throughout the game, Dan can visit gargoyle heads of two varieties; green ones offer Dan information while blue ones allow Dan to buy services or ammunition by using the treasures he finds. Dan's health is determined by a single health bar, which reduces when Dan is hit. It will deplete completely if Dan drowns or falls from a great height. If Dan completely runs out of health, the game will end. Dan can extend his maximum health by collecting Life Bottles, which will automatically refill his health bar if it drops to zero. Also hidden throughout the game are Life Vials and Life Fountains that can replenish Dan's health and fill up any empty Life Bottles Dan has. In each level, there is a hidden Chalice of Souls, which can be collected if the player fills it with enough souls from defeated enemies (some Chalices are awarded via other means). If the player clears a level with a Chalice in hand, Dan is warped to the Hall of Heroes, where he can speak to a legendary hero who will give him rewards, such as weapons. If the player finishes the game with all the Chalices, the game's true ending is revealed.
