There was once a tech demo of a first-person RPG in Aminet. You could move freely 360° at acceptable frame rate (2x2 when moving, 1x1 when standing still) and the artwork was really magical and athmospheric. (like strange Smurf-like Houses etc.)
However, I have never found it again in Aminet, because I forgot the name. Was that abandoned places?

Correction: Is was not "Abandoned Places". I am still curious what this fantastic games was.

No, it was not Ambermoon, not TrappedI/II, nothing mentioned above.
I dont know if it ever made it to a commercial product. But it was damn good and athmospheric. It was outdoor, a small smurfish like Village and a lake, and some 2D sprites. Moving was fullscreen and like in Doom. GFX went 2x2 when you moved, and rendered the missing pixels when you stopped to look 1x1. Thats the main technical feature I remember.
The name had something to do with "abandoned", IIRC, but I am not sure.
