The Banished/Mythora/Banita by studio NAWAR/Frontline Studios(?)

I found this when i was searching for a random rpg to try, anyone ever played this? Apparently it was made by my fellow Potatoes in 2004 but the only cover that i found is in some eastern slav moon runes so who knows. From screenshots we can know that it had polish and english versions.

We actually had a few newsposts about this when it was new: https://rpgcodex.net/tags.php?id=238

Sci Fi and Fantasy? Sounds interesting, sadly i cant find anything more about this. I wish i could download this but its probably hidden on some forgotten russian abandonware site.

EDIT: I found that it was released in the west in 2006 and also it had german version

Russian edition:

English version?

Another german cover though it looks weird.

Ok i somehow got a copy of this game, sadly its a kraut copy... Can you see the irony? Rare polish game and only available copies are in vatnik and kraut

I got few menu screenshots, sadly gameplay is not catched by screenshots, it only catches loading screen even after game has loaded, i suspect that menu and gameplay are somehow separate and not the same program but idk.

Sadly since the whole game is in kraut i really dont think i could play this, i hoped that there may be some forgotten polish backup but no, at least from what i saw all text (i think) is in TXT files so maybe someone could translate this.
I don't if this is legal but i think that this qualifies as an abandonware.
I uploaded .rar with contents of the disc, 600 mb, i hope that its going to work, password: potaat1 (its going to works for 15 days since now)

If you are fluid in the black tongue maybe you can check it, maybe you will tell us more about this. Who knows maybe someone will be able to translate the txt files.

Any way to buy this game(s)?

Have played this back in 2010ies. Screens dont do it proper justice, its so thoroughly shit that to call it a slavjunk would be an injustice towards the venerable slavjunk genre.

Only used copies, i found my on Amazon.de and russian versions are probably much more common.
