awbacon Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Huge D2 vibes which is always a plus but damn was I bummed when Agartha was cancelled. Glad we at least have the prototype 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roots.genoa Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 I think I remember the game was supposed to have a strong focus on consequences to your actions, with branching paths in the storyline. I know that's the kind of things a lot of players get excited about, but to me, it's always the sign the game is probably too ambitious and won't end up that way (a la Fable). Well, in this case, it didn't end up at all. ? I have a lot of respect for Frederick Raynal, but it always has been a problem with western developers, especially from France (Beyond Good & Evil 2 being the absolute caricature of that philosophy). That's why I prefer Japanese games; they tend to stick to classic formulas but at least the games 'work' and age better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been fun to see what would have ultimately came of Agartha had it released. I always wonder what would have been Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roots.genoa Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 As a strange coincidence, the guy from Switzerland that shared the prototype is actually doing extra research about the game. The lore was quite intriguing, dealing with disturbing themes. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QDBuckwheat Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Never heard of this game before, but it's a shame this got canceled. I really like the setting and aesthetics here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moycon Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I recalling seeing this game years ago and thinking it was amazing looking. The Dreamcast was always a favorite system of mine, and stuff like this is why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
