About the game

It is played from an isometric view with simple click-to-move controls, and each chapter has a very different setting and mood.

The story deals with grief and guilt, and much of its power comes from slowly piecing the truth together.

History

Developed by DreamForge Intertainment and published by ASC Games in 1998.

It became a cult classic and has since come back on digital stores.
