• 5 races with different characteristics: human, elf, dwarf, half-Orc and human-lizard

This is a very high quality newer Amiga dungeon crawler game inspired by classics of the genre like Dungeon Master, Eye of the Beholder, and Black Crypt. Featuring great graphics, a pretty solid soundtrack, and very polished and smooth gameplay.

Included is an add-on DLC with 10 new additional maps to explore.

Also included is a pdf scan of the manual. Be sure to read it for a better understanding of the game and lore.

How to Run:​

(Using .adf floppies)

1. Using either WinUAE or FS-UAE mount all 3 disk images and start the game using an Amiga A1200 or A4000 configuration with at least 2MB of chip ram assigned.
2. Saves are handled using the Save Disk floppy so insert that disk when you plan to manage your saves.
3. If using RetroArch you will have to use the Disc Control options to swap each disk when prompted since it can only have one disk at a time inserted. The game will play fine through it as long as you use Amiga A1200 or A4000 under the Automatic start option for when loading floppies in the Core Options for PUAE. You need to have the Kickstart ROMs in your System directory otherwise they won't be able to boot.

(Using the hard drive installed version)

1. Using a Workbench setup of your own or mine simply load the game executable inside the SoS folder to play the game.
2. If using my preconfigured one: move the SoS folder and .info file into the shared PC folder (ClassicWB UAE v28\PC) and launch WinUAE.
3. Load the A4000 turbo configuration and when the desktop has booted up open the PC folder and find and open SoS to get to the executable and launch it.
4. To close out the game and exit back to Workbench when you want to quit press and hold the ESC key.

(Playing with the add-on DLC)

1. The add-on DLC only works with a hard drive installation of the game. (not loading straight from the floppy)
2. To be able to apply the DLC copy and overwrite all the files from the SoS folder from the DLC over into the SoS folder for the main game.
3. Due to how everything is overwritten it's best to keep a copy/backup of the main game and play the add-on only after you've finished the main game as a sort of extra New Game+ you can do with your characters.

Note: the hard drive installed version is the recommended method to play this game since save files are handled by a folder in it and the disks aren't needed at all. It also loads and runs much smoother and faster and has support for that DLC. There's also an editor application in that version you can use to create your own DLC sorta maps and stuff.

Any tips for getting the harddrive version running? I've got a 4000T config up and running with WB3.1 in Amiberry, I can run the SoS executable but it either hangs the emulated Amiga or crashes Amiberry immediately. If I drop down to a 1200 I at least get an error message but I think it's just a generic 'can't read from memory' error ('80000008' wait for disk activity to finish).

OK it loads from floppy without an issue on the 1200 config, so it's something to do with the hardrive package.

Copy, or drag, the AMOS.library file from disk 1 (located in the LIBS folder) to your Amiga Wokbench LIBS folder.
It will then run from the hard drive

If you load disk 3 and open the files in it there's an installer setup to install it to hard drive. Maybe try doing a fresh install of it? Maybe the installed one actually can't be made portable like I tried to do it? I hope not since now people will have to install it like that using the floppies instead. Which isn't hard and it's rather fast and the manual tells how to do it, but still people always prefer just point and click instant start whenever they do stuff like this

1. I'm an idiot, I didn't even think to check the manual

2. Yup, fresh install from floppy works without an issue.

Just want to point out that you also need to put the bios files on the system folder within the Retroarch folder, which you can find here on the repo, or use a more recent and complete in this github page. Just make sure to put all the files in their respective folders.

After that I think its pretty much straightforward if you are used to Retroarch.

I said that in the description when I talked about how to use RetroArch. "You need to have the Kickstart ROMs in your System directory otherwise they won't be able to boot." The files are kick40068.A1200 and kick40068.A4000 for the A1200 and A4000 model options

Looks awesome!
Dungeoncrawlers are nowadays way too underrated .
