Hey guys,
I've been looking for this game for quite some time now and I suspect it might be a really obscure one? Really hope you guys can help me find it!
Unfortunately my memories of it are quite fuzzy, but here it goes: What I do know is that it's a rpg/adventure/puzzle like game that I played somewhere between 1996 - 2000 on a windows 95 PC. But it's possible that the game itself is even a couple of years older.
It was a 2d isometric (maybe top down?) game with a fixed camera angle and position, where you had to walk your character to the edge of the screen to load the next world tile. Third person perspective. Not really sure if it was point and click or keyboard controlled.
I think the main character was some young guy and you start in a simple small medieval looking town with a couple of houses. The area around the town has some woody areas and green grass I think. Possibly a snowy area on the north side and shoreline/water to the south. The world was fairly small however.
I do remember the world being a bit weird and gritty (I think you run into human corpses, looking really gruesome and bloody). Not your standard fantasy world, but I think there definitely were some supernatural elements. In any case, the game world was not a very happy place. Can't remember if there was magic or not.
I think you had to complete tasks for people to progress to new areas. In one of the earlier missions some guy in/near the starting town asks you to kill some enemy critters that have invested his farm or garden or something. I can?t remember exactly what kind of critters but I think they were a giant version of a small real-life animal. I vaguely remember them looking quite disgusting, so probably some kind of giant insect or maybe rodent or something.
Can't really remember other enemies though or how you would fight them but I think in the beginning you just have your fists to beat enemies with.
Also I think there was a well or something in the town that was also a part of a quest.
A little later on I remember having to reach some place in a clearing, blocked off with what seems to be a couple of rows of impenetrable trees. I believe the way in was from the top right side of that world tile.
Hope this makes any sense to someone...
