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!

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
