This game is so good!
It reminds me of SpiderWeb Software games.
Is there any other similar game?
I probably own them all,but maybe someone knows of more?

GOG is your answer.

I have some games on GOG,but on the whole I prefere Steam,where all my games are roofed under one app,plus like you get achivments and more..

Arcanum is one of the best crpgs ever made, maybe even the best, it can take sometime to get into though.

Do not discount Darklands. One of the greatest CRPGs of all time; It's fantastic. Ultima, EoB, KoL, and SSI Goldbox are what I love from that era.

two 90s cRPGs that havent been mentioned yet

Betreyal at Krondor - FPP exploration and grid-based combat. exploration and story-focused. pregenerated character. good writing

Albion - underappreciated sci-fantasy with amazing top-down pixel art exploration and janky FPP dungeon crawling. very cool setting

I would recommend Wizardry 8 for a somewhat similar experience. its not eldritch, but it is a good squad based RPG. https://store.steampowered.com/app/245450/Wizardry_8/

But I would not recommend the earlier Wizardry games. The reason for this is that they play super slow. 8 also play slow but there are several mandatory mods that speed up the game and make it playable. The earlier games dont have that.

Here is a review for those wondering what its about

Not quite so similar, however I'd recommend UnderRail. There's no party however it has a superb story arc, unique setting and decent soundtrack.

Avernum games on Gog are very much like this one - classic party RPG with large world to explore. And "Queen's Ambition" on Gog and steam. Gog is much better for these classic games. Some are new games that continue the classic style from the beloved Spiderweb software developer on Gog.

Dark Sun is very good and it is on Gog

also the famous Wizardry 8 is on Gog. I just bought it today and installed it.

I'd Recommend Dungeon Rats, similar "RPG-lite" experience with good range of difficulty options and has a fun set piece final battle.

+1 for Arcanum, Albion (only on GOG) and Wizardry 8 from me, BTW. If Albion looks interesting to you, that game is the 'spiritual successor' to Amberstar and Ambermoon. Someone on Itch is currently trying to rebuild Ambermoon[pyrdacor.itch.io] for modern PCs.

If Wizardry 8 looks interesting to you, note that you can export your characters from Wizardry 6 to 7 and from 7 to 8.

And for Arcanum, I believe there's a fan patch available to help it run on modern PCs.

I agree that GOG has some real gems that aren't on Steam (Ultima series), and their games often run properly out-of-the box, in contrast to some Steam releases of older games. But the Avernum series, the Dark Sun games and Wizardry 8 are all available on Steam as well.
