Holy shit!! My all-time white whale suddenly showed up
Monster: Ancient Cline was supposed to be the arcade sequel to an indie PC fighting game called Monster. It always looked really promising, but ended up disappearing quietly. I always hoped I'd get to play it, and even tried tracking down some of the beta testers to see if anyone had a build, but no luck. And then! Just last week, someone noticed that a build's been circulating on the Chinese web, and uploaded it to archive.org. It's there! It works!
The files are dated late 2009, or maybe a year and a half into development. Probably pretty close to the end of the original dev working on it.
