i can't believe this is a real thing, and this is the first time i've ever heard about it
Seal: Magic Eye is an adventure-RPG for MS-DOS
Soft-World, a korean RPG and adventure game publisher/developer, did an amazing job of cloning Ultima VII's style, interface, sprites and tiles
it's cloned down to the smallest detail: the "journer onward" on the title screen, the pixel palette rotation effect during the load screen, and even the wonky isometric-ish projection.
it plays more like the SNES/SFC port of Ultima VII: The Black Gate - interactivity is stripped away, and it's mostly point and click dialogue.
the fact that this exists at all is incredible. now, whenever someone asks, "is there a game like Ultima VII?" i finally can say, yes!
sadly, it has no mobygames entry. work for a fellow software archivist who can translate, some day.
