Clive Barker's Undying 2001

Is it still worth playing?

EA Los Angeles' horror first person shooter, with a story by the horror writer Clive Barker, who also voices the character Ambrose Covenant. It follows Patrick Galloway, an Irish paranormal adventurer of the 1920s, as he investigates mysterious occult happenings at the estate of his friend Jeremiah Covenant. You play through a series of levels from his point of view, using a variety of weapons, and his deaths are shown in third person cutscenes unique to each type of enemy. Health is restored with packs. Beside the weapons you use a wide range of magical spells that consume mana, which regenerates slowly, and magical pickups called Arcane Whorls and Mana Wells raise its regeneration rate and its maximum. It still has a darker tone, from a horror writer's story and spells beside the guns.
