Platform(s): PC/DOS

Genre: RPG/Roguelike/Dungeon Master/Dungeon Crawler

Estimated year of release: Unsure but pre 2001

Graphics/art style: VERY similar to Dungeon Master

View: First Person

Notable characters: Bats and Orcs (I think there may have been a kid, or young orc), and I remember hooded enemies

Notable gameplay mechanics: I can't think of anything specific (though, and this isn't even 50%, there may have been a portrait that showed damage similar to the face portrait in Doom)

I do not believe there was a party. I think you were solo. (not 100%, but I really don't remember a party at all)

Other details:

It had trap doors, false walls, strawberries, vials of potions

<hr />

It looked like it was likely based on or a clone of Dungeon Master, but I'm fairly certain it was solo, and not a group.

I know I played it prior to High School which I started in 2001.

<hr />

I remember there being vials you could find on the ground (and I think the word 'vial' was used, but I'm not 100% on this)

<hr />

I also have a strong memory of within the dungeon there being a bright grassy room that had a lot of strawberries lying around.

The strawberry thing is the one thing that I'm 100% on. You could eat them, and you could actually see the item on the ground.

Additionally, there was a second quest which started you on a space station instead of a dungeon with a HAL like computer (red dot) which was actually named HAL.

Games already ruled out: Dungeon Master, Eye of the Beholder, Might and Magic, Hexx, Heretic, Catacomb, Dungeon Hack, Amulets & Armor, Shadowcaster

I've poured through old Shareware compilation CDs I still have as well as here, abandonia, and dosgames. There's a good chance it was also something downloadable too, as I might not have gotten it from a CD.
