There are some Underground projects that could be termed "venerable" by now, if it wasn't for the fact that it seems wrong to honor them for never actually getting done.
This game is one of those. The project has suffered some setbacks (I could have sworn there used to be a much bigger demo available a few years back), but is supposedly still limping on after eight years. The game is developed on a custom engine, MAD, which seems like a good name for the choice to steer clear of AGS, WME, AGAST, SLUDGE, or any of the other options available. Well, maybe it made sense in 1999!
