       | A link to a review/video would be much more informative:

       | I bought and played this on GOG. It was pretty good but it was
       | hard for me to remember where I was/had been. I ended up
       | downloading a program that mapped the level as I played it and
       | that helped a lot.
       | 
       | For a modern take on this style of gameplay I'd look at Legend of
       | Grimrock 1 & 2. They are great games

         | What's the program? I've never heard of something similar, and
         | sometimes I've wondered if they exists :)

           | Note that at least one EOB game (probably all of them)
           | involve teleportation traps that you're supposed to have to
           | catch by watching your compass as you move - an automapper
           | would instantly reveal that you'd been teleported, spoiling
           | the effect.
