Hey,
For anyone who has not played Arcanum try it out. it was one of the best games sierra ever made, unfortunately at the time not many people heard about it, due to lack of marketing which led to low purchases and a cancellation of the squeal.
The game itself is phenomenal and its a shame that good titles end up rotting due to lack of marketing! that just happens in modern day games, as most players focus on the cannon games and very rarely experiment with other games that may be far better.
We are looking for people to vote in the petition and help support a squeal to Arcanum. Its currently available on torrent, so try it out, finish it and if youd like to see more be generous and sign!
The game is similar to Diablo 2 mixed with Loard of the Rings, but takes 15 times as long to finish, and has some astonishing game play which puts any other rival title to absolute shame. Although very dated now! I'm sure any gamer who can appreciate games in general without crazy graphics and good game play, very strong stories, and character backgrounds, player development, will certainly appreciate this title.

Torrent
We are currently talking to the creators, and if we get enough interest, then the project will go forward.
Your support matters! It really does!
Edit out the torrent link or it will be nuked.
Great game I agree, always more things to do and lots of fun. IIRC I was a weapon making magic user... yeah go figure but it was allot of fun
Good game, different for its time, but full of bugs and poor dialogue and stupid little things like that, made it a title that was inferior to Diablo and BG.
I loved Arcanum, had lots of fun with the unique setting, characters, and world. However, I wished the combat was done better – either super fast real time, or ponderous turn based with endurance being more scary than health!
Um I don't know how to say it but Troika who made the game, Sierra was just the publisher are finished, gone, kaput which strangely is alluded to in the background info..... They also made Bloodlines which was a game that really got me in to pc gaming, great game.
The petition is pointless, it would be like me petitioning Elvis Presley to write a new song.
As an aside the opening Cinematic from the game when the blimp crashes features the best music in a game I have ever heard, good soundtrack too.
Online petitions get attention, m i rite?
But seriously, Troika made it. And Troika were awesome, but they are gone.
It's a complicated situation, but there is hope for recovering the title! just sign the petition, help out if u like arcanum!
