Not lost media, but urban legend.
I mentioned it in this game called "Scales" in this other thread there >>95945417
French game, long out of print, probably never translated in English outside of this fan summary translation I did. I only know about this game because I got one copy of it I got from a friend, who got it in a thrift shop IIRC. Pretty close to a lost media to begin with.
But here's the weird part:
In this game, you play otherkins. However, the game itself never calls them that. As a matter of fact, as far as I'm aware, it far predates all of the internet communities around it, it may even predate the term (it's a game from the early 90s). So where did they get the idea?
Also weird: RAW, you are not supposed to choose which magical creature your character is. You are supposed to discover it throughout the game, by playing.
Lots of elements in the book feels like its deliberately attempting to blur the difference between life and the game. Like something which was designed partly as a game, partly as an initiation.
Still, the setting is fun (basically urban fantasy with a dragon conspiracy) and the system is serviceable, so even if you remove all of that it's still an engaging game.
