Chronomaster

[h1]A bundle of fun beyond the flaws[/h1] [b]Get past the graphics and Ron Perlman phoning it in, this is a solid piece of point and click history that still holds up to this day[/b] Chronomaster was a surreal point-and-click sci-fi adventure game released back in 1995. The majority of the story was written by the late, great science fiction author Roger Zelazny before he died and subsequently finished by his widow, Jane Lindskold. It's set in the future where the development of pocket universes is not just possible, but quite common among wealthy elites. These pocket universes are tailored to the owners' desires and can even have their own sets of physical laws.

They had unexpected deaths (without auto-saves). They had mazes. They had dead ends - do something, and you can never continue at a certain point.
