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!
Glad to see this release on GOG.com. I bought it in a two-pack with American McGee's Alice, and loved playing it the first time around. It had some trouble running on my system, so I never finished playing it.

Can't wait to try again!
The first PC (Mac, actually) game I ever bought was the two-pac of Undying and Alice; Undying was the better game, no question, and I've mentioned several times that I'd like to see it on GOG.

Not really scary, though. Oh no, it's a monster! Oh, wait, it's OK, I can just shoot it in the face.

Crosmando: Arrrrrgh what the frack have you done GOG

What is this forced 3dfx bullshit, you can't edit the .ini files to change to widescreen resolutions anymore it just makes the graphics unplayable, and it seems like it's forcing 16-bit color and a 4:3 field of view.

How do you change 3dfx settings?

timppu: Interesting... but then it makes sense, as using a 3Dfx mode with a Glide emulator (nGlide?) probably works more reliably on various different systems, rather than relying on the game's old Direct3D implementation.

If it is indeed locked to 3Dfx Glide mode, then I presume it will only show 16bpp colors and max resolution of 800x600. Then again, I think these Unreal engine games were pretty much optimized for 3Dfx Voodoo 2 and such, even though they had also Direct3D support?

By the way, how is it with these old polygon-based 3D games which were made in the era of 4:3 monitors, and nowadays you try to switch them to widescreen resolutions? I presume all images are just stretched then to fill the screen (ie. circles become ellipses etc.), or do they actually show more of the scenery on the sides, that is missing if you run the game with 4:3 aspect ratio resolutions?
Nevermind, with a little digging I seem to have found the answers.

The game uses nglide, a 3dfx emulator, you cannot change the resolution of the game via the video options in the game itself when using 3dfx mode, not properly anyway. You need to go into the folder where you installed Undying, then the "system" folder, and open the "nglide_config" utility, where you can change the resolution to whatever you want. HOWEVER although you can set 3dfx to widescreen resolutions with it, you can't increase the field of view without stretching the game horizontally across your monitor, but you can set the aspect ratio via the utility to 4:3 and it letterboxes.

But you can use Direct3D mode by selecting "change driver" in the game's video options, then you can select widescreen resolutions and a proper FOV by using this guide:

I probably should post this in the Undying subforum, it seems the basic choice is: Play undying with the fancy 3dfx graphics without a correct field of view, or play undying in the old ugly Direct3D with a proper FOV (no stretching or letterboxing).
Maybe someone can put images showing the difference between the graphics using 3Dfx and Direct3D? Never had a Voodoo card
Maybe soon we can have Clive Bakers Jerico here. That was a good game, just a shame I had so many problems getting it to run when I still had the disk.
Lovely release. Time to relive this adventure again :)
Man, I haven't played this in a long time. Will probably pick this up tonight. Thanks GOG!
OMG! OMG!


I wonder how many testers in the GOG labs died in heart attack during the testing of this game. :D
Heh - I guessed it was going to be this based on TETs clue last week when it was Nomad Soul, then I guessed this again when others were saying Revenant - Good to be right the scond time at least!

Instawishlisted I think!
Not my cup of tea but glad another seeing EA's game on GOG.com. That gives me hope for sth I REALLY wait.

Wasn't Clive Barker's Clive Barker's Jericho by Clive Barker somewhere in the 'meh' department?

there's an autoplay window where you can set different things - not sure how to access it normally, but if you run Undying and force-close it (via task manager) next time you run the game it will appear (and let you set it)

It was a fun, underrated horror shooter IMO. I liked it a lot even if it wasn't anything special.

I also love Jericho. It is severely underrated game. If GOG released Jericho, I can say goodbye to my Steam copy.

Compared with Undying, Jericho is weak, the QTEs and saving only in checkpoints were the worst aspects to me.
