There's this game I used to play, I can't remember much about it, I think it was a cinematic platformer (Prince of Persia, Another World, Flashback, that kind of stuff) I'm not sure, but I think in the game they lock you up in a dungeon in a castle and you escape, when you start I think you have a dagger and you're dressed in black. and there are guards with spears, you had to avoid them I think, I also remember the game was on CD, though maybe it came on diskette too, oh, and in the CD there was a picture of the main character climbing a wall with a dagger in his mouth.

In case anyone was wondering, this is Shadows of Cairn, a brilliant concept fumbled rather spectacularly.

Yep, found it a few years ago browsing through another abandonware site.

Just like you said: beautiful idea, awfully executed.

I love how I wrote "I think" four times. This game was probably the vaguest childhood memory I had.
