As a kid I probably would have bought it off the cape alone. Missed opportunity! Looks pretty cool for what it is though.

Looks pretty cool!

It also reminds me of Dinosaur Planet leaking and a fan community is trying to effectively finish the game. I wonder how that project is going.

That looks pretty good. I would have played this as a kid. Probably an adult too

Holy cow I remember seeing this in old gaming magazines when it was being touted as the N64's Tomb Raider.

wow, this looks impressive for the time. The UI in particular looks very clean in a way that you often didn't see at the time.

I bet that this game would have found an audience.

Man, we missed out. It's a pretty solid Tomb Raider knock-off with a cool cyberpunk aesthetic.

I have no recollection of this game, but looking at the footage, those running and jumping animations are EXTREMELY Lara Croft.

Close to the point of "they've definitely studied that".

There used to be a UK gaming magazine that Barnes and Noble carried called Total64. I'm almost positive that is where I first remember hearing about this game way back then.
