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.

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey
Shin Megami Tensei: Strange JourneyIn the near future, a mysterious, growing, black void appears at the Earth's southern pole. Unable to determine its cause and powerless to stop its deadly encroachment, humanity sends an elite team of explorers into the heart of the phenomenon, just as Strange Journey's look and feel represent a return to the heart of Shin Megami Tensei, bringing to mind the all-time classic Nocturne. With over 300 demons to bribe, coerce, and negotiate with to gain assistance in battle, Strange Journey is every bit the deep, rewarding RPG experience fans have come to expect from the SMT franchise, yet delivered with a fresh new sci-fi story that taps into mature themes of morality and introspection.
