RPG from the 90s
Hi folks,
This has been bugging me for years and I've just come across this site Maybe someone recognises it...? Not sure on date but must have been 90s. It was a team with different classes kinda thing. I think post apocalyptic and a mixture of magic and technology. You moved freely on a larger map but entered a close up are view for tactical turn based combat, based on Action points. There had been a plague which made people crazy. In one chapter you give a written pass (or something) to a guard to progress, but he sees it as something else and you realise he has the plague. I remember this being quite a chilling moment. There was a puzzle involving levers under the words 'What', 'am', 'I' that are written in alcoves. The answer was 'I am what I am' In the end (Spoilers!!!) you fight a weird baby entity in a floating chair. Any ideas? |

It's not steampunk, if it's apocalyptic. On the other hand, apocalyptic usually means no-magic (replacing it with magic-equivalent - psyonics, computer manipulation, matter transformations, etc).
Anyway, description sounds vaguely familiar... But no, I cannot remember. Can you describe more? How game is played - top down, isometric, side, first person? What battles looks like - FF-style "standing parties hit each other", or involving battlefield with free movement? What is it _outside_ of battle - movement only, quests, world?.. |

Just a shot into the blue, could that be Superhero League of Hoboken? It kinda has post-apocalyptic elements, and some of the description sound a bit like it.

There is humorous game, so nothing chilling in it, so I didn't even consider it. But thank you for bringing this into attention - I even didn't think about party-first person view.
Still cannot remember anything like this. %) |

Accidentally stumbled on game that buzzed in my mind.
Dark Earth! Post-apocalyptic, magic and disease. I didn't play it much, so I didn't see described scenes, but I knew that I _seen_ something like that! |

OP said “You moved freely on a larger map but entered a close up are view for tactical turn based combat, based on Action points.”
So I don’t think Dark Earth is the one. Sounds more like a FF style movement then transition for fights but I get the feeling the combat has its own little tactical map, rather than static characters making attacks on a timer. A lot of similarities to Bad Blood but too many differences. Sounds like something I’d like to play, or see at least. |
