ROTH Unity

Open-source Unity reimplementation of Realms of the Haunting, designed to use the original game data while recreating its engine, gameplay and presentation on modern systems.

Status: very early development.

Goals

• Load and validate an original Realms of the Haunting installation.
• Document and reimplement the original data formats.
• Recreate maps, rendering, interactions, gameplay, audio and cinematics in Unity.
• Preserve the original game experience before adding optional modern enhancements.
• Never distribute original copyrighted game assets in this repository.

Current development milestone

The first milestone is a data compatibility layer able to locate an original installation, identify its core files and produce a reproducible inventory for reverse-engineering work.

The English game data is currently used as the primary reference build.

Original game data

ROTH Unity will require a legally obtained copy of Realms of the Haunting. Original game assets are not included in this repository.
