It was the last game developed by DreamWorks Interactive before becoming EA Los Angeles, and released in 2001 by EA Games. Noted horror author, the titular Clive Barker, was consulted in shaping the game's plot and background lore and also provided the voice of Ambrose Covenant, a character in the game.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Clive Barker's Undying )〕 ''Undying'' follows the adventures of 1920s Irish paranormal adventurer Patrick Galloway as he investigates the mysterious occult happenings at the estate of his friend Jeremiah Covenant. ==Plot== The game begins with a flashback to ancient times, where a group of priests are burying a Celtic king alive. It then cuts to 1923, where World War I veteran Patrick Galloway receives an urgent letter from his friend Jeremiah Covenant. Covenant, well aware of Galloway's reputation for dealing with occult matters, is in failing health and raves about a curse that has destroyed his entire family. Galloway travels to the Covenant estate on the coast of Ireland to visit his friend, who relates an outlandish tale of supernatural terrors. Jeremiah Covenant is one of five children, along with his siblings Ambrose, Lizbeth, and twins Aaron and Bethany. As children, the Covenants found a strange occult book in their father's library and performed a ritual found within at an ancient set of standing stones located on an island on their family's extensive estate. This seemingly childish game, however, brought the wrath of evil forces upon the family. After reaching adulthood, the Covenants fell one by one into madness and then death, eventually leaving Jeremiah as the only survivor. The power of the curse, however, has reanimated his fallen siblings as monsters of pure evil; they have been haunting Jeremiah and he fears that he will soon follow where they have gone. Galloway decides to honor his friend's wishes by trying to stop whatever was set in motion long ago at the ancient stones where the ritual was performed. Through the Covenants' journals and Galloway's own memories, the player learns more about the nature of the curse and the creature behind it: The Undying King, a powerful demonic presence threatening to destroy the reality we inhabit. While attempting to prevent the Undying King from entering our world, Patrick must face off against the four undead Covenant siblings as well as Otto Keisinger, an evil rival who simply wants to gain power from the demonic forces. As Patrick begins to unravel the mysteries of the Covenant family, he finds himself travelling throughout both time and space, traversing both the ancient past and other dimensions entirerly. Disposing first of Lizbeth in the Covenant's family catacombs, he arrives back at the mansion in time to see Ambrose murder Jeremiah. Patrick kills Ambrose in revenge, then searches for the body of Aaron, who's ghost is haunting the estate. He discovers it in a secret torture chamber where Bethany had secretly imprisoned and horribly mutilated her hated brother, and destroys his undead form. He also kills Keisinger in a magical duel, in the process liberating the inhabitants of the alternate dimension that Keisinger had enslaved to his will. He finally confronts the last of the evil Covenant siblings, Bethany, in the prehistoric past, only to find himself suddenly returned to the present, now standing on the island where it had all begun all those years ago, and finds himself facing an unexpected enemy - Jeremiah himself. Rather than being the passive, remorseful observer of the tragic events, Jeremiah had in fact been just as corrupted as his siblings, and had just been using his old friend to get rid of his more powerful siblings so he could take the power of the Undying King himself. Furious at his friends treachery, Patrick beheads Jeremiah, but too late, as the Undying King is released. The ground bursts open, releasing the mummified remains of the Celtic warrior who had been used to seal away the Undying King by the original druids, and the warrior quickly crumbles to dust. Then, the King itself finally breaches the walls to our reality. After a long, difficult battle, Patrick is able to destroy the King, but realizes that this is just one of many coming trials... 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Clive Barker's Undying」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
