This was one of a kind JRPG that I found in my early teens, back when I wanted to play Diablo and couldn't. Ended up addicted to it - simple gameplay and mechanisms, the companion is really useful and very well done/placed into the game. It is quite linear but is still very fun. Would be awesome to have this here as an complete package (all 4 episodes), with support for widescreens and high resolutions so I can finally revive those old good memories of this awesome game!

This is such a hidden gem of a game I would love to see come to GoG! What sticks out to me was the awesome gameplay, awesome music, and fun RPG system. It was released in parts but I would love to see the full game show up here with support for modern systems! I want this game on GoG so that others can also discover this gem of a game!

I've only ever played the first episode. I remember there was an external program that would catalogue the items you had found but you would have to save, quit, scan, and reload. The completionist in me didn't mind the interruptions to gameplay at the time. The first episode was free, acting as a demo for the saga of four. It was fun, and the dog companion was a neat addition to the Diablo formula. I think you can still purchase the episodes from the original developer but it would be amazing for it to be here, preserved on GoG as a complete collection.

Lembro de jogar esse jogo por volta de 2008 quando eu tinha um netbook (sim, um netbook, não um notebook). Joguei por muito tempo e era um dos meus preferidos da época, e continua sendo muito querido até os dias de hoje. Infelizmente, ele não é mais comercializado oficialmente por nenhuma loja, nem mesmo pelos desenvolvedores do jogo. Gostaria muito de poder jogá-lo novamente, e se for através da GOG, ficarei muito grato e feliz!
