Arcatera: The Dark Brotherhood - Dreamcast

Arcatera: The Dark Brotherhood is a point & click adventure game set in the heroic-fantasy world of Arcatera. It is based on a complex criminal investigation where the hero (or a party of up to 4 characters) has only 3 weeks (in-game time) to counter the evil deeds of a satanic gang that is trying to overthrow the Prince of the city and bring rampage over its inhabitants. Based on a non-linear story-line, the game may lead to various outcomes depending on the player's actions and attitude towards others (multiple branches lead to over 10 possible ends). Not only has the player a complete freedom of action, he also lives in a realistic environment where all inhabitants of the city have a definite behaviour pattern (they can be seen eating, sleeping, moving in the city according to their needs). The game also contains RPG elements: magic, combat (with group tactics), party personalisation and progression (XP level, money, equipment etc.).

With 2D pre-rendered graphics, over 200 locations, 150 interactive characters (voices in 6 languages) and an open-end intrigue that varies from one game to another, Arcatera has a unique atmosphere and a very strong replay value. more
