Does anyone know why the controls don't work under dosbox, everything works perfectly except for the freaking controls, I'm trying to use the keypad but it doesn't work.

The controls do work for me. Did you switch the keypad on?

You Are Not Dead, When The Monkey (I dont Know If That Thing Is a Monkey) Leaves the Room Press Any Numpad Button To Escape (Your Health Are Low)

I know, but I thought that it'd be a good place to end the video.

This is some amazing realtime 3D for 1993/94. This game totally stymied me back in the day but I think it's fantastic. I'd totally play an updated version with state of the art graphics if they kept the same whimsical gothic horror style and the fairly slow, puzzle-based gameplay with combat mixed in.

It's not completely realtime 3D. Only the characters are rendered in realtime. The scenery is prerendered.

That f*cking Werewolf, that f*cking stone you trip over, that fat f*cking tw*t of a bear thing. This game was full of annoyances, yet was absoltuely awesome. Anyone else feel like a bit of shady geezer slapping those little pigme bitches around?

Man you really should make a video-walkthrough of Ecstatica or something.

@Silentzio I know, I mean it's impressive what they managed to do WITHOUT polygons.

[Silentzio]

@CrowbarSka C'mon, nowadays all 3d engines work with polygons, which are basically triangles. Now look at Crysis or Battlefield 3... :)

[vincemtp34]

this game was freaking hard, the werewolfs scared the hell out of me and yet the story was... entertaining!

[WarpaintWoman]

Must be "Magical Formulas for Dummies."

[CrowbarSka]

Pretty cool what can be done with just ellipsoids!

He is not dead actually yet. You can get from this. You just have to move somehow and you can get your legs from the noose.
