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.

The title screen and gameplay of SEAL: Magic Eye for MS-DOS. It shows an uncannily resemblance to Ultima VII. The protagonist walks around an isometric tiled world, semi-medieval, talking to characters and opening doors to castles.
