Original task description:

The Immortal, an isometric action adventure known for its graphic violence and sadistic difficulty, developed by Sandcastle and released for a myriad of platforms. As a wizard, you journey deep into a dungeon in search for your mentor Mordamir. While battling a variety of fiends, evading deadly traps and solving puzzles, you learn about the treacherous plot that lured you into its clutches.

My goal is to port the game to the ScummVM ecosystem. It would mark the first isometric action RPG for the project and contributing what is notoriously known today as the ‘Dark Souls of the 90s’.
