Hi everybody, this is my first time joining a posting forum. So I'll get straight to the point. I'm 35 and there was a game that I played when I was young. I'm not sure of the release date of the game but I played it I think in the early to mid 90s but it could have also been early 2000s. I'm sorry I'm truly horrible with dates. I can't remember what it was called but all I can remember is this. It was a game I played on PC. I can't remember if it was Mac or Windows. It was a single player RPG Style game I believe. This is what I can remember about the beginning of the game. There's an opening cutscene that begins with a Faraway shot of what looks like a castle. Surrounding the castle is a bearing landscape filled with all kinds of monsters and creatures. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be some sort of dystopian Society but that's how it appeared to be to me at the time. As the camera zooms into the Castle, it appears to zoom in on some sort of Holy Temple. Inside there is some sort of Priest / Monk type people and they are being protected by some guards. An Assassin comes to try to kill the Priest / Monk with some sort of rare or special poison. A guard who is protecting him gets doused with the poison while fending off the Assassin. Then the priest / Monk tells the guard that there's a possibility he could live if he gets some sort of special antidote or item or Relic but he only has a short time to survive in order to do so. After the cutscenes you play as the guard and although you appear to be fine at first eventually the poison starts taking effect and it even changes your appearance. You becoming sort of Demonic or Monster like. At first you can wander around the castle and speak to a few NPCs. I even recall a section in the castle where you can get into a ring or something and do some fight training before you set out on your quest. After which you can leave the castle and wander around the town. Somewhere in the town there's also some sort of psychic woman who reveals herself to you and offers her guidance.

As a young man I never got much further than that but the game looked so cool and interesting at the time that it stuck with me even after all these years. If anyone out there has any idea of what the name of the game was I would really appreciate it if they could reply to my post. Thank you and have a great day fellow gamers.
