Karma: Curse Of The 12 Caves / Quest For Karma InterServ International Inc. / Discis Entertainment / DreamCatcher Interactive Inc. 1996

Discis, publisher of Jewels of the Oracle, offered Karma as a follow-up. Unlike Jewels, which was developed by Eloi, Karma was a production of Chinese multimedia company Interserv. People expecting more of the polish of Jewels were disappointed. Karma, crippled by playback problems in its video and transition segments and consisting of only 15 puzzles, seemed like a classic joke: not very good and such small portions. That said, what puzzles it offered provided some diverting challenges. Unlike the contemplative (and more numerous) puzzles in Jewels of the Oracle or Gems of Darkness, half of Karma's puzzles test reflexes as well as wits. And in some of its puzzles, one false move instantaneously resets the puzzle to the beginning. That would no doubt be the "Instant Karma" feature. A patched version of Karma which cured most of the video and playback problems was published three years later by DreamCatcher Interactive under the title Quest for Karma.
