Before the phenomenal Sanitarium, Dreamforge designed this sci-fi adventure
written by two of the most famous
and revered science fiction authors of all time, Roger Zelazny and Jane Lindskold.
It takes place in a future where universe creation has been taken to an art form
with the advent of Pocket Universes (one of the most innovative concepts introduced
in this game by Zelazny). In the game you play the role of Rene Korda, one of the
most respected creators of Pocket Universes in the galaxy. The Terran Regional
Goverment asks you to intervene when five Pocket Universes are put to stasis by an
unknown force. You are a chronomaster - a "time cop" who must find and correct
asynchronisms while tracking down the criminal mastermind. Each universe has its
own laws of physics, where science and magic co-exist. The artwork is absolutely
stunning from start to finish. From vehicles to edifices to creatures to monsters
to the ambiance of outer and inner space, every scene is little short of spectacular.
Excellent puzzles (with
many gadgets to use), plot, and a truly long journey add to a great game, despite
some bugs. This game is one of a kind, especially since Zelazny died of cancer
in the process of, along with Jane, creating one of the most original stories ever
conceived. |
