Lilah? Is that you? This place... it's... amazing...

Post by sev »

Obsidian, the first supported game of the mTropolis engine, is ready for public testing!

Created in 1996 by Rocket Science Games and published in early 1997, this ambitious 3D-rendered first-person adventure has you journey through 4 surreal, dream-like worlds in search of your lost colleague.

ScummVM currently supports the English and German versions. It features a widescreen mode, improved cinematic quality, and a few bug fixes. A Japanese version also exists, but we need more information about it to support it. Please contact us if you have a copy of the Japanese version or some other language version that we haven't discovered yet.

To play any of these supported releases, you will need a daily development build. You can also download a demo here. If you encounter any issues, please submit them to the issue tracker!

I never heard of Obsidian until I read the announcement. On eBay they have the Italian version. https://www.ebay.com/itm/254971876921?h ... SwMeBglscV

I tried to find the Japanese version, but I couldn't find any website where one can order a used copy.

Try From Japan.

The way that the site works is that it allows you to bid on Japanese auction sites. You are not, however, dealing with those Japanese auction people, you are dealing with a proxy company that deals with them in Japan and in Japanese, and you can deal with From Japan in English.
It is also possible to bid on several different items from different sellers, and the company will send you the items in one shipment.

Obviously they don't do any of that free of charge, so you will be paying some fee for their services.
But considering that you can bid practically speaking in any Japanese online auction (with some restrictions like food and weapons), it's often in the end even cheaper than waiting for some Western seller to put those items on eBay. I wouldn't be surprised if some people are making easy money buying through proxies and selling on eBay.
