    I was a Sophomore in High School when this game came out and I absolutely loved it; so much so that I played it over and over again, neglecting to read a book for my Language Arts class which I needed to do for a book report. Long story short, I figured with an author's name on this game, my teacher wouldn't know the difference. So I cropped out the EA or whatever publisher was on the box art and wrote a book report on this game.
    Got an A.

    Ah, man! I haven't seen this game in forever! After I left Activision, I was actually hired by Dreamworks to be a Designer on the sequel to Undying but then EA bought out the office, team, etc., cancelled Undying 2, and moved us all over to work on Medal of Honor: Frontline instead.

    Ah, Clive Barker's Clive Barker's Undying by Clive Barker is my favorite Clive Barker game by Clive Barker that I can think of! It's so a fantastic game.
    Trivia: The guy Patrick Galloway kills in the intro, that was suppose to be the Main character for the game initially but when they brought in Clive Barker and told him about it, he supposed to have said " _Who looks like this? Who wants to look like this? Does anyone know of a man named Magnus? No, draw me a man I want to sleep with!_ ", and that's how we got Patrick Galloway instead, a sexier man for a much better story.
    .... By Clive Barker!

He mentioned more artistic work like his in video games has seen "diminishing returns" thanks to mega franchises like Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed. Which is sadly true. But at least we still have Undying, and even Jericho has some of his unique vision.

    This game seems ahead of its time. The gun/magic with each hand reminds me of Bioshock, which didn't come out until 2007. Weapon wheels generally are a modern feature as well, although I can't think specifically of when they became popular. And the variety of spells remind me of the psi power in EYE divine cybermancy (which civvy really should do a video on)

    The Haste spell temporarily increases your speed and mana regeneration rate. That's true, but also you reload weapons faster, and delay between weapon attacks (shots or melee weapons) is also much shorter, this is especially useful later in the game when you face all the Howler types at once, because they are really fast and jump on you in a heartbeat.

    • _Undying_ was a great, very memorable game, one of my all-time favorites. I want to re-play it, but my OCD makes me do the shooting-range at the start, so I can't make any progress, so I keep putting it off for later. Regardless, it's still a great game, with great atmosphere, and felt very full and satisfying (not too long, not too short). _Jericho_ wasn't bad, it was just buried.
    • The spells remind me of the ter'angreal from _Wheel of Time_ (which was pretty good, but too long); also some of its maps.
    12:36 - This part reminds me of _American McGee's Alice_ . The cistern reminds me of _Tomb Raider_ , other parts remind me of some of the _Painkiller_ games, and some _Return to Castle Wolfenstein_ , and even _CoC: Dark Corners of the Earth_ .
    15:00 - This part reminds me of _Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem_ .
    18:47 - Would you still hit it? 🤔
    20:37 - And some _Watchmaker_ and/or _Scratches_ .
    28:18 - And now _Barrow Hill_ .
    29:00 - Kraven.
    31:47 - Shame. :-\
    _Undying_ is reminiscent of many games (some before it, some after), as well as some Lovecraft stuff, particularly _Dunwich Horror_ . Overall, it's extremely memorable and a fun play.

      I mean, if society as a whole will ever get its shit together and not be such a cancerous place then cancer mouse could die.
      But who am I kidding, that's never going to happen so yeah, cancer mouse is eternal.

    I love this game! It's not so much 'scary' as it is atmospheric, and it actually kind of has that unsettling atmosphere thanks to the janky graphics

      Honestly "scary" for games usually either means atmospheric or obnoxious jumpscares. I know which one I prefer.

      @@h4724-q6j I like the slow burn better. It gets under your skin. In this game things don't tend to jump you so much as you hear them, aren't sure where they are, and even when you see them you feel tension because they tend to be stronger than you are XD
