The Abbey of Crime Extensum - native AmigaOS 4 port

Outside Spain few people have heard of it, but "La Abadía del Crimen"
(The Abbey of Crime) is widely regarded as the greatest Spanish video game
ever made, and one of the finest pieces of programming of the 8-bit era.

Released in 1987 by Opera Soft for the Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum and MSX,
it was written by Paco Menéndez and drawn by Juan Delcán. Inspired by
Umberto Eco's novel "The Name of the Rose", it puts you in the sandals of
Brother William and his novice Adso, who arrive at a Benedictine abbey
where monks are dying in mysterious circumstances. You have seven days to
uncover the truth before the Abbot loses his patience.

What made it legendary was its engineering. In barely 64 KB the authors
packed a huge isometric abbey, a full week of in-game time and a cast of
monks who each live their own lives: they follow their own schedules,
attend mass and meals, react to what you do and to each other, and their
behaviour keeps changing as the story unfolds. Nothing like it existed on
8-bit machines at the time.

"The Abbey of Crime Extensum" is the 2016 fan remake by Manuel Pazos and
Daniel Celemín for PC and mobile devices. It keeps the soul of the original
while bringing it up to date: a more approachable control system, better
balanced difficulty, redrawn graphics and new rooms in the abbey. It is
available in English, Spanish, Italian, French and Polish.
