Your terror will be legendary--even in hell!

Clive Barker’s Undying, a captivating horror-themed first person shooter with a dark arcane story penned by one of contemporary the masters of terrifying fiction, is available on GOG.com, for only $5.99.

The Covenant siblings had no bad intentions. Just some words found in an old book from the father's library--what harm could they do? It was going to be all fun, and only fun to utter the blasphemous passages at the old standing stones in the garden. So they called upon the darkness, never expecting it would answer. It did. A dark occult ritual unleashed ancient demonic forces upon the Covenant Estate on the coast of Ireland. A demonic presence threatens to unravel the very fabric of our reality. You are Patrick Galloway, an expert on the occult, the wielder of the demonic Gel'ziabar Stone, and a friend to Jeremiah Covenent, the eldest of the siblings. You are summoned to end the chaos and free the condemned souls.

Clive Barker’s Undying is a first person shooter that delivers fantastic action gameplay and splices it with occult mystery and terror. You will face horrors from hell and put them to rest with incredible weapons like the Tibetan hand cannon or the Scythe of the Celt. Clive Barker, himself, influenced the story greatly and even voiced one of the characters. If you are a horror fan and enjoy immersive FPS gameplay, no force in heaven nor hell should stop you from playing this one!

Find out why the dead are restless and help them on their way back to the void in Clive Barker’s Undying, for only $5.99 on GOG.com!

cbarbagallo: When I changed my to D3D (can be done in the Options panel), I could select 32 bit color and change my resolution above 800x600.

(Shouldn't this discussion move to the Undying forum?)
Me too. WIthout messing with the config file (forced widescreen resolutions always seem to screw something up) the highest resolution I can select using nGlide/3DFX is 1600x1200 while the highest resolution I can select using D3D is 1024x768. D3D also allows me to change the color to 32 bit.

great release

I'm actually reinstalling my soldout version to take another look. Would it be possible for someone with the GOG version and all the 3D stuff on to post a screen shot? I'm dying (or is it undying) to see if there is a difference.

I'm up and running with my cd rom and it looks GREAT. I was going to play my new copy of Giants today but now I may have to go at this even though I've already played it through.

dirtyharry50: I read the WSGF article but unfortunately there is a significant problem with the journal being cut off at the top if you do that from what I just read there. I played this at release with D3D and it looked fine to me then. I believe this is a Quake III engine game if I recall correctly.

timppu: Unreal Engine 1.

I don't quite recall how it was with Undying, but with some other games with the same engine, like Wheel of Time, I don't really see much of visual difference between the Direct3D and 3Dfx (with nGlide) mode. If anything, I would have thought the Direct3D mode looks a bit better. I recall the 3Dfx mode looked similar also on real 3Dfx Voodoo 2 hardware.

The main difference (in e.g. WoT) is that if you choose the 3Dfx mode, by default you can only use resolutions 640x480 or 800x600 (4:3 aspect ratio), while with the Direct3D mode you an choose pretty much any resolution your graphics card supports, including 16:9 widescreen resolutions.
Thanks. I'm sure I'll manage to set it up in some fashion pleasing enough. It's such a great game. It will be fun to play it again when I get around to it. I have a retail copy of this but I'm going to buy it again from GOG so i don't need to mess with discs, etc.

!!!!!

Been waiting for this release almost more than any other! And me with no cash this week! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Wow ... yet another release I thought lost to the winds of time. Good going for all concerned!

Awesome addition to GOG's catalog.

It's sad just how under-appreciated and "forgotten" this game is.

F4LL0UT: YES! Have been waiting for this one for ages. Things are just getting better and better.
You ever wonder(after the Omerta DLC debacle and the survey stuff) if GOG keeps a bunch of awesome gems like this "in the wings" just to make us feel all happy/calm after doing something that causes a stir? 0.o
(btw i'm only being semi-serious in my asking, in case anyone wonders.)

Kunovski: played this A LOT, but never finished... now it's time! MUHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE!
That's nothing....after I started SS2 I kept playing/re-playing(for various reasons) the game up until the BOTM levels before restarting. I went about 5 years before I finally got around to pushing through and finishing that gem.

SCPM: Awesome release! I hope this means that more Dreamworks Interactive games are on their way!
Dammit, I had a brainfart...I thought you said DreamCATCHER. :(

(I so wish we could get Harbinger here someday[I never finished it because of bugs/a corrupt save and now it won't play worth a damn on my copy of Win7 64-bit. ], even if some might not like it as much as other games.)

They have had Grim Fandango, Diablo, and Morrowind locked in a cabinet for years, but have never made a mistake big enough to release them as cover up.... curse you you impeccable do-gooders!!!!!!!

:p

I get the feeling I was one of the few people to actually finish that game. It felt completely rushed to market without play testing and only one of the character classes actually felt like it was playable to the finish. But it was quite fun for all the frustration.
