I remember playing this game with my sister when it first came out. This is THE game that taught me how effective sound in video games could be. Early on, there's a phonograph, and the only thing it plays is a baby crying with its parents laughing in the background. 26 years later and that moment still sticks in my mind.

At a friends place back in high school, maybe 97 or 98, attic computer room, late night. Dusted off a four-disc jewel case with only the back cover to inform us. "Rat. No head." was the moment when the game started to creep little me out. To this day, I still come back and play up to the Study even if I don't finish it, one of my favorite rooms in all of gaming.

THREE MAJOR TIPS: 1. *The US patch lets you to remap controls to wasd + mouse,* or whatever you want, in the menu. There's also fan-made downloadable config files in the Steam and GoG forums for modern controls, high resolution and improved texture filtering via DOSBox. 2. You jump twice as far when you're running. It makes the platforming stupidly easy; and looking down can help you see the exact edge of the platforms too if running isn't easy enough. 3. Press Ctrl (default) to fire your weapon at any time, even when there's no enemy/object detected with the cursor. You can use this to manually reload the pistol (at the expense of wasting whatever rounds are left in the mag at the time).

It would be cool if Grimbeard could get to him about the "director's cut" version and they make a crossover about dark goth boomer shooters(of which there are many, it's kinda a staple of the genre to have lovecraftian/eldritch tones when they don't have cyberpunk, or even along with it). I misremembered that he had already covered it, but it was actually Ross' Game Dungeon (another "show" about old games I follow)

If the controls seem daunting, SuperGreatFriend did a complete LP of it, and he did a great job. He even reads the the lore dumps in separate videos so you can skip them if you want. He used a DualShock 4 controller for the control scheme, and it apparently really worked for him. Highly recommend. Thanks for the vid, Grim.

The US patch allows rebinding of controls for WASD and (pseudo) mouselook. There's also guides on the GOG and Steam forums to improve the resolution, texture filtering, etc. I still haven't been able to figure out how to get 16:9 widescreen and I'm not sure that's even possible... but bottom line is that patching it removes the biggest negative/obstacle of weird controls.

I got this game like 10 or 11 years ago on gog and absolutely loved it. It took me almost a whole day to customize the controls (with external tools) to make them bearable, but it was worth it. I love such ambitious efforts from the 90's. That era of CDs, FMVs, early 3d and experimentation will always have a special place in my heart.

This was the golden age of gaming, and ROTH was one of the last, greatest and most ambitious examples of the early FPS and FMV/Adventure genre. Also one of the very, very few to combine the genres. Now it seems all we get from the big studios these days are the latest Halo or COD clones, pay-to-win lootboxes, season passes, DLC and other cancerous trash (most of which also suffers from terminal consolitis). I miss the good old days of the late '80s to mid 2000s; before gaming became mainstream and thus dominated by corporate greed and the philosophy of graphics over substance.

I found it enjoyable, certainly epic in scope and certainly underrated. Don't get me wrong, I love it and replay it every few years around Halloween. Definitely a classic. With that gushing out of the way however, the best parts were the first 2/3rds where you're basically playing "occult detective" exploring the creepy old house, church, cottage, etc; and gameplay is finding clues, reading documents and solving puzzles with some combat in between. The atmosphere and art direct are excellent and the amount of pure detail crammed into everything is great. It goes downhill in the last 1/3rd or so when it transitions from eerie haunted mansion and other real-world locations and occult horror themes to these bright, sunny, abstract fantasy worlds full of bland mazes and ridiculous "1990s adventure game logic". The infamous brain hunt in Sheol, hedge maze in Raquia, and the sword puzzle for some particularly godawful examples. Or in a nutshell, Grim's review makes exactly the same points and criticisms, and he's right. Still it's a damn shame we never got a sequel. ROTH got very high ratings and sold well, but the studio got screwed/dissolved in a bunch of mergers and corporate fuckery which killed off the in-production sequel they were working on. I'd settle for a remaster. Paging @Nightdive!

Technically I mean, it was combining adventure games with first person games I had played ,with somekind of awesome haunted house multiverse story which I thought was batshit crazy. I was pretty sure then, that _no one_ can ever tell what tf this game is about. But here you are, and it only took a bit over one hour. That is why you are now one of my favourite KZbinrs.

Hi! I finally catched up, I was watching your whole lot of PC games, and it was so much fun! And what could be better to finish with one of my favourite games of all time! I fell in love with RotH when it came out, even though my PC could only run it on the lowest settings. It was the first time I remember that I really enjoyed FMV in a game, just because it didn't feel cheap. And I was genuinely scared when playing it, especially the robot hybrids in the beginning were so creepy, or the tower with it's weird soundscape. Now I'm older and still play it from time to time. So let me thank you to bring it back to people's minds, this definitely deserves to be not forgotten! I'm glad there is a channel that focuses on classic PC titles, I'm looking forward to your next videos! Thank you for this!

I love that you talked about Supernatural. I don't think I have met anyone else in my life who has seen or heard about that show.

I think the reason stuff like Realms, Tex Murphy and Wing Commander 3 work so much better than most FMV games is because they use FMV cutscenes in basically the same way that modern games use Cutscenes today. They aren't trying to make the whole game FMV and they aren't just sprinkling it in just to have it. It uses it's cutscenes purposefully and it really holds up.

I never realized that was the Normality engine, Normality is one of the best games I've ever played. For some reason they only sell the version with UK Voices in it these days and they suck, you have to replace the voices with the US version, totally mandatory. It changes the atmosphere of the whole game.

I played this game couple years ago and enjoyed most of it. I was actually kinda happy to return to a control scheme where you can switch between mouselook and point and click like System Shock.

I do quite enjoy Ross's video on this game, and I think it hits a fair perspective for how I think most people will run into and bounce off this game. I think Grim puts in a bit more to keep track of everything going on with the story, since this video makes the entire story and progression of the game make a lot more sense with a lot more context and detail. I think a lot of people will have trouble getting into this game, keeping track of all the story stuff, and so on. Modern games give a lot of hand holding, and this game was doing a lot of weirdness combining point and click and shooters and opting to not copy System Shock's setup. Amazing video as always! Very happy to have another long Grimbeard video to rewatch constantly

To listen to you channel is sobering. Sounds pretentious to say, but that´s what it is to me. The attention to detail at every second of the viedeo is refreshing and your humor is just fucking great. You are also doing your completely own thing which, to me, kinda mean I can trust your judgement. Keep on being the best source of entertainment that I have yet to stumble upon KZbin! Also, track name on 25:51 would be appreciated.
