This has been my number 1 favorite game since it came out and I always come back to it.
What’s special about it to me is that it’s a fantastical fairy world being polluted. The subtle atmosphere of it adds to that as well. As if playing through a more thorough world of Ferngully or something.
The Celtic inspired art, the music. It’s just all perfect. The creepy parts are effective still. The entrance to the Cave of Bad Dreams feels like a strange voodoo Louisiana ritual. The Tomb of the Ancients feels like a true dive into the realm of the undead. The finale on the Prison Ship truly feels like a dangerous infiltration and the seedy mysterious merchant at the end adds to that. The zombie chickens are still creepy.
Didn’t put the correlation that this is a French game to the weird haunted swamp stuff together for a while, considering the heavy French presence in Louisiana.
