Story:Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem is a psychological horror action adventure, released in 2002 by Nintendo for the Gamecube. It tells the stories of twelve characters that span across the world and two millennia who have to deal with ancient forces of evil which have been trying to manifest themselves in our world. Chapters take place in Ancient Rome, Persia, the Middle East, and modern-day Rhode Island. Throughout the game, the protagonists will have access to several weapons appropriate for their era, from bastard sword & gladius to flintlock pistol and shotgun.
The game features an involved Magic system, which allows different spells to be created through the combination of runes. These spells can attack enemies, dispel illusions, and heal both the body and items.
Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem also has a unique feature called Sanity. If an enemy sees a character, their Sanity meter drops. When Sanity gets low, hallucinations begin to plague the character. Walls bleed, voices whisper from nowhere, the camera gets disoriented. Sanity can be restored by dealing a finishing move on a dying enemy, or with spells or some items.Show more

This is one of the best cosmic horror games created, played it first time on the game cube, and sure the scares that are implemented in the game were made for a different era of technology, so might not be as affecting, but your character suddenly losing their head is still a great hitter. The story spans over several characters different perspective, all leading back to the horror of bing nothing more than a pane in the games of goods
This was one of the few GC-Titles i had back in the days, since i started at the university and had not too much spare money for games. I got lucky getting this one used and played it in the winter evenings and sometimes got really frightened. A gem on the GameCube i´d love to be experienced by a bigger audience.
I bought Eternal Darkness along with Resident Evil Remake back in 2002 and really wish that the former which is only on GameCube could one day come to gog.com.This game's sanity effects and spells along with it's story make it a masterpiece.
I played this shortly after release (probably, or at least within a year or so). I never beat the game but this was during my first "gaming hobby" phase of my life. I used a guide to get through the part of the game I did get.
I doubt Nintendo will ever let this happen and this game is probably in legal limbo due to the whole Silicon Knights lawsuit with Epic Games and coupled with the company's bankruptcy.
I can dream.
This is easily one of my favorite horror games from that era. I would love to see this slightly updated, so that some of the horror elements were translated better on PC. Those of you who have played it know exactly what I'm referring to and are laughing at the thought. On top of which, the story and sense of dread in this game were spectacular.
A friend recommended me this game and it quickly became one of my favorite games for the gamecube. The sanity effects were great and would constantly look for new ways to trigger them. I would love to play this game on the PC and share those moments with my kids.
One of the wildest horror games of all time, designed with a sanity meter that would cause all sorts of weirdness to happen as it ran low. And there's nothing like getting halfway through a game to see it stop and "format your memory card", request a nonexistent disk 2 or announce a second half due next summer. Other games have attempted to mess with the player since but never to the same degree or with the same degree of success as Eternal Darkness. This game is an icon and its nonsense will always stay with me.
Eternal Darkness is an incredibly underrated gem unfortunately trapped in the GameCube library. It's by far one of my favorite games in the genre, not to mention one of my favorite on the system.
Nintendo simply doesn't care about it and leaves it getting dust in some corner for everyone not to play. I hope GOG can save this one.
This game was the first time I ever fell so completely in love with a game that I would play it over and over again. The way it plays with you as the player, fooling you into thinking your controller is broken or someone sat on the mute button - It's just exquisite game design. The story is fantastic, and the magic system is superb. I need this game on GOG.

Ys III: Wanderers from Ys breaks away from the "bumping into enemies" battle system of the first two games, allowing Adol to control his sword in a variety of directions. Beside changing the battle system, the game's perspective switches to a side-scrolling view, as opposed to the top-down one of the previous games. Adol also has the ability to jump now. New to the series is the use of magical rings, which give Adol different powering-up abilities such as healing and shielding. The game also uses various key items found along the way to solve minor puzzles and progress the story.Action Fantasy

MediEvilMediEvil is an action-adventure game developed by SCE Cambridge Studio and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. Originally released in 1998 for the PlayStation, the game follows Sir Daniel Fortesque, a skeletal knight accidentally resurrected to battle the sorcerer Zarok and save the kingdom of Gallowmere.
The game takes place across a variety of levels, many of which require certain objectives to be performed to progress. Sir Daniel Fortesque can use a variety of weapons, consisting of close range weapons such as swords and clubs to long range weapons such as crossbows. Many of these weapons can be charged for a powerful attack and some weapons, such as the club, can be used to access areas that are otherwise inaccessible. When not possessing any items, Dan is able to rip his own arm off and use it for both melee and ranged attacks. Dan can equip a shield alongside weapons to defend against attacks; though they can only take several hits of damage before breaking. Throughout the game, Dan can visit gargoyle heads of two varieties; green ones offer Dan information while blue ones allow Dan to buy services or ammunition by using the treasures he finds.
Dan's health is determined by a single health bar, which reduces when Dan is hit. It will deplete completely if Dan drowns or falls from a great height. If Dan completely runs out of health, the game will end. Dan can extend his maximum health by collecting Life Bottles, which will automatically refill his health bar if it drops to zero. Also hidden throughout the game are Life Vials and Life Fountains that can replenish Dan's health and fill up any empty Life Bottles Dan has. In each level, there is a hidden Chalice of Souls, which can be collected if the player fills it with enough souls from defeated enemies (some Chalices are awarded via other means). If the player clears a level with a Chalice in hand, Dan is warped to the Hall of Heroes, where he can speak to a legendary hero who will give him rewards, such as weapons. If the player finishes the game with all the Chalices, the game's true ending is revealed.Action Comedy Horror

Fable: The Lost ChaptersFable was expanded and rereleased as Fable: The Lost Chapters for Xbox and Windows PC platforms in September 2005. The game was later ported to Mac OS X by Robosoft Technologies and published by Feral Interactive on 31 March 2008.
The Lost Chapters features all the content found in the original Fable, as well as additional new content such as new monsters, weapons, alignment based spells, items, armour, towns, buildings, and expressions, as well as the ability to give children objects. The story receives further augmentation in the form of nine new areas and sixteen additional quests. Characters such as Briar Rose and Scythe, who played only minor roles in the original game, are now given more importance and are included in certain main and side quests. Other character-based augmentations include the voice of the antagonist, Jack of Blades, sounding deeper, harsher and more demonic, and the ability to uncover (and resolve) the murder mystery of Lady Grey's sister. The updated edition of the game also applied fixes for certain glitches, such as the "dig glitch," in which the protagonist would move backward each time he used the shovel, pushing him through solid objects and sometimes trapping him.Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox
