Undercroft
You are a brave, if not foolhardy, band of adventurers who made the bet of
their life time – to battle the horrors of the haunted royal graveyard and
bring back evidence of your journey. Waking up the next day in a jail cell of
a small town you realize that you have a long and perilous journey ahead of
you, if you want to reach the tomb and return to tell the tale.
Undercroft is heavily inspired by old RPG such as The Eye Of The Beholder
series and early Might and Magic games. The game is presented through a 1st
person view, with simplistic graphics. You can create a party of up to four
characters, chosen from five different classes, each with twelve unique skills
and three attributes. Mechanically, the game is almost identical to the RPGs
of yore: All actions, be it movement or spell casting, are turn based. You
turn in 90 degrees “jumps” instead of a smooth motion (similarly, you walk
forward in large “steps” instead of a flowing advance). Quests, stores,
tactical puzzles, armors and weapons are abound in this traditional fantasy
setting.
