The Labyrinth of Time

Criminally forgotten adventure game. Keep in mind that there are "western adventure game"isms like pointless items, unwinnable situations, etc. but still a relatively friendly game all in all.

Finnicky and features adventure game concepts that are universally regarded as poor game design such as dead end scripting and moon logic. This is a linear point&click adventure game with scripting that can leave you stuck in dead ends. The navigation is confusing due to the disconnected nature of the still shots. The control scheme is non standard and uses an odd point&click adventure interface. Most icons will usually fail working on most scenery objects making the trial and error a little bit frustrating. Narratively the game is interesting and pits you as an everyday joe getting contacted by some kind of atlantis parallel dimension kind of person, so that gives an excuse for mismatched assets and rather fantasy-ish looking stills. However the obscure nature of the puzzles, the reliance on mazes, lack of ability to fullscreen correctly on widescreen monitors, odd control scheme, and dated audiovisual quality really detracts from the immersiveness and even I would say just flat out usability.

I played for the nostalgia, I stayed for the graphics. Fun little game I bought back when it was first released. If you remember 7th Guest fondly you'll probably enjoy this '90s game.

I was attracted to this game because I saw some screenshots of it, and I like checking out more obscure games. As much as I love the graphics though, the actual gameplay is not very fun. The controls and navigation are kind of weird and hard to get used to. The puzzle solutions are that sort of point-and-click brand of obstinate that made me want to look at a guide a lot, plus there are a lot of mazes to navigate. (Admittedly it is called "The [i]Labyrinth[/i] of Time" for a reason.) I still haven't finished this game because I got stuck pretty far in (I think?) because of something I messed up at the beginning, and I haven't felt like restarting in order to finish it. ::-( Overall, I love how it looks, and there are a lot of really cool locations. The gameplay makes it hard to enjoy. Maybe someone else with more patience will enjoy it?

Totally surreal. I'd played the game for I have no mouth and I must scream, which is made by the same people, and I loved it (no matter how difficult it was for me). This game follows the same sort of gameplay and the same infuriatingly specific choices you would have to make to even pass through one maze. The graphics are terrible, but in the best way possible. What can you expect from a 1993 game anyways. In conclusion, I would recommend. It's a challenge, but pretty interesting, especially in terms of some of the lore.

I wanted to SMACK that giant laughing clown. Repetitive music, obtuse puzzles, and tedious gameplay with a lot of backtracking. I still vibed with it, though. Follow a walkthrough, put on some chill music of your own, and it's not a terrible way to spend a rainy afternoon.

schöne Stimmung vor allem wegen der Grafik und der Musik. Passt super zusammen, Es hat sowas von alten Geisterhausfilmen. Vor allem zu Beginn im Hotel. Es gibt dort nur leere Orte, keine Menschen und trotzdem gibt es indirekt eine Interaktion. In der gleichen Zeitlinie sind die Menschen lebendig, aber man sieht sie halt nicht und kann nicht direkt mit ihnen reden. Zeitlabyrinth halt. Nur Momentaufnahmen von versch. Zeiten. Die Puzzle sind nicht so schwer, aber trotzdem ist es immer interessant wo man als nächstes rauskommt, wenn man wieder in einem der Irrgarten steckt.
