🚨 Help us to test the upcoming ScummVM 2.9.0! We've been working for a while on the next ScummVM release, and it is time for a call for public testing.
Rescue your twin from the clutches of the evil Castle Master! Castle Master, the haunting conclusion to the Freescape engine saga, is now ready for public testing! Released in 1990 by Incentive Software, Castle Master became popular for its technical innovation and challenging gameplay. The game inspired countless 3D adventure titles, and the Freescape engine itself marked a technological milestone, enabling groundbreaking object interaction and spatial puzzles.
Games based on qdEngine are now supported! The work is based on the original sources published now under GPL, although the work started a bit earlier than that. The engine supports 14 games, five of which we are announcing support for. Most of these games were released in Russian; however, there were Lithuanian, Czech, and Polish releases. #retrogaming
