I was introduced to Witchaven on a shareware/demo floppy disk that came with those PC Gaming magazines back in the 90's. What I remembered well was how realistic the hands and creatures looked. Did you know the monsters were actually made out of clay and photographed? Even the evil witch was designed from a team member's looks. This was fun to play without using real brain power, so it was quite easy. Finished it in 12hrs. The story was typical for that era and not much creativity went into it. Remember, some studios were more driven on technical capabilities back then. So glad GoG got this in their store! I would recommend buy this in the Witchaven 1 + 2 bundle to have the full experience. A few things you need to consider when playing this game: - save frequently. yes, it still have random crashes every now an then. At least save at the beginning of every level. - the mouse aim is not smooth. So, contain your frustration when flying, aiming with the magic bow or casting spells. - there is a map. just press the TAB key. - it takes a while to get used to the keyboard layout. Have fun!
