The Avatar must now embark on a quest to find the missing girl and stop her true captor. Falsely accused of kidnapping the Baron’s daughter, the Avatar is cast into the Stygian Abyss as punishment. The game takes place in the land of Britannia featured in the previous Ultima games and you play as the Avatar still. Unlike most similar games, this was the first to break away from completely square areas, allowing for quite a bit of environmental variety (bridges, slopes, etc.). This was one of the first RPG games to feature a truly 3D environment where your character can look up and down, swim, and jump, among other things. The game was directed by the creator of the Ultima universe, Richard Garriott, produced by Warren Spector ( System Shock, Wing Commander, Deus Ex and more) and designed by Paul Neurath. It was later ported to FM Towns, Playstation and other platforms. Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss is a fantasy action RPG developed by Blue Sky Productions (Looking Glass Studios) and published by Origin Systems in 1992 for DOS.
