Absolutely shocking

The only good 3D0 game being remastered was not on my 2024 bingo card! Ok maybe not the only good one, but certainly the best one. I was like... 10? when the original came out, and I don't think I ever made it beyond just randomly wandering around the mansion. Is the game easier to understand as an adult? Guides ruin these kinds of games, but I remember it being extremely confusing once you enter the mansion. Usually just got lost and killed by the maids or the bees or whatever lol.

I feel like these games are way easier to understand as an adult.
So many of these remasters from nightdive that i remember the same way as you - where i played it but never really understood it. Shadowman is a good example for me.

Coming back to them now that i'm way more used to video games and now that i'm older and they definitely seem to make way more sense in terms of what to do and where to go.

Totally agree regarding Shadowman. I had it on N64 as a preteen and even though I thought it was cool as ♥♥♥♥, I found it difficult to finish because of simply not knowing where to go. I enjoyed the remaster a lot.

Same. Had it on N64. Loved the art and thought it was really creepy but had zero concept of what a metroidvania was and thought the game was broken because i couldn't progress.

It's a remaster of the PC version, not the 3DO version. Thankfully

Amen.

It’s the PC map with the 3DO characters.

I never played this back in the day and maaaan this game is wild! Insane in a good way.

Mwaah it is entertaining in a repetitive way. Surprised it got the Nightdive treatment given its obscurity.

Its not the 3d0 version, just the PC version. which is good, but no where near as exciting or good as the 3D0 Version. I'm playing the 3d0 version right now, and its much better.

LMAO! As someone who owns, has played, and loves both… HEAVILY disagreed. The PC version was VASTLY superior in its design. The 3DO version is just the Mansion… and it is nothing but a bunch of ****ing random, nonsensical mazes composed of copy pasted corridors that make the Winchester Mystery House look sane.

The PC version, on the other hand gives you the entire Island to explore, along with the mansion. What’s more it’s laid out in a fashion that makes ****ing logical sense. The maps are designed to resemble the things they are suppose to represent… unlike the 3DO’s Random labyrinthine mazes that resemble ANYTHING but a mansion & its rooms.

Yes, in the PC Version, the mansion itself is smaller. However the overall size and variety of the game, in the PC version, is much larger. What’s more the map/level design is orders of magnitude better! Overall, the PC version is just a much better designed & more polished game.

PS I also kinda prefer the PC version’s prerendered & pixel art sprites to the 3DO’s digitized actor sprites. That though, is my own personal preference. Nothing more.
