Necronomicon - The Dawning of Darkness (PC)

Another game from Microids. I just can't get enough of that old school 360 point clicking. Much like Dracula, you play as an Investigator putting a stop to the Mythos. Its by the numbers at this point but back then it was probably revolutionary in the storytelling---I was so sure the people you were working with were cultists using you for their own ends especially after you literally kill your best friend who was possessed by the villain of the game about two-thirds into it (with the rest of the game just finding the Ancient Cities and destroying them). But no, they really were your colleagues and there was no double cross. You stop Yoggie, hurray!

Contemporary of the games in this era, the flow was mostly talking to people which kinda bored me halfway in but got intriguing when the "game" finally let me explore and it started turning into Myst especially in the last part with the abstraction and the mazes in first person. Mercifully that part was short and a nice puzzle for a finale.
