AI Summary

Ecstatica, released in 1994 by Andrew Spencer Studios and published by Psygnosis, is a survival‑horror title that follows a bumbling traveller who stops for water in a demon‑cursed medieval village and becomes entangled in its fate. The game was heavily inspired by Alone in the Dark and predates Resident Evil by a year, adopting a fixed‑camera perspective similar to its predecessor. Ecstatica introduced its own unique mechanics, including a suite of customisation tools that encouraged players to create in‑game items. The title is noted for its early use of ellipsoid graphics technology to populate its world.
