The Labyrinth of Time was a 1993 Adventure Game made by Terra Nova Development.You're an office worker living a dull, dreary life, but on the subway ride home one gray Friday the ghost of Daedalus suddenly pulls you out of the normal world. He explains King Minos has enslaved him to build a Labyrinth even greater than the one he built in the ancient days of Crete. This one bridges time and space, and allows Minos to invade all eras and conquer them with his supernatural powers. Daedalus begs the player to find a way to the heart of the labyrinth and destroy it before Minos can finalize his conquest.Unfortunately for Terra Nova, they released the game at about the same time as Myst and The 7th Guest, leaving Labyrinth of Time virtually ignored. To this day only hardcore adventure fans are likely to know it even exists.Currently freely available for Amiga, and available for purchase on all major computer platforms as well as iOS. | |

Beautiful Void | |
| The Labyrinth of Time (Video Game) / int_18eb5500 | comment |
Beautiful Void: Even though you enter multiple time periods via the Labyrinth, you never see anyone besides Daedalus. It gets especially jarring when you steal the Mayan Talisman from the Lunar Museum and suddenly hear an intercom voice interrupting the music, and trying to use the teleporter lands you in a jail cell. | |

Unwinnable by Design | |
| The Labyrinth of Time (Video Game) / int_1bd4c0bf | comment |
Unwinnable by Design: Don't use your quarter in the fortunetelling game... make a phone call. Not as bad as it might be since it's so close to the beginning of the game, and especially since the game admonishes you for wasting it. Averted in the re-release. You start with two quarters now! Towards the middle/end of the game, if you enter the Surreal Maze without taking a lantern hidden behind an open door from earlier in the game, you're stuck. This is especially cruel given that the confusing maze is a natural point to stop playing and resume later. The detectives' office contains a key you need to let yourself out of jail after you're transported there for stealing the Sorcerer-King's wand. Without it you're stuck, and there's nothing else in the office you need. And there's no indication that the key to get into the office is where it is, or how to get it. | |

| The Labyrinth of Time (Video Game) / int_33b4e7f | comment |
Helmets Are Hardly Heroic: Inverted. One of the obstacles the player faces is a road blocked by a constant fall of rocks. They can get past it once, but after that they chicken out trying to cross back without proper headgear. Fortunately, there's a durable helmet on the side they're stuck on. The pith helmet found in Minos' tomb will also let the player cross. | |

Unintentionally Unwinnable | |
| The Labyrinth of Time (Video Game) / int_3ac5110b | comment |
Unintentionally Unwinnable: In a normal playthrough (without knowing puzzle solutions ahead of time), you need to use two quarters to complete the game. You can get 13 quarters from the payphone in the diner, more than you will ever reasonably need, and still waste all of them and become stuck. To do this, you either need to open and close a money-locked door repeatedly or, after getting the quarters, trek to the other side of the labyrinth and spend them all on the fortune teller. Both options are extremely unlikely unless done intentionally. | |

Missing Secret | |
| The Labyrinth of Time (Video Game) / int_a9cec1f1 | comment |
Missing Secret: Some doors can never be unlocked. Given the game's convoluted layout, this is probably intentional. Useless Items are everywhere, maliciously so. In fact, roughly half the items in the game serve no purpose. The champions of this are the sword (conspicuously placed at the end of a large puzzle, possibly to distract you from the invaluable lantern nearby) and the alien belt (incredibly ornamental and interactive, does nothing). | |

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Minos destroys all recorded history, as seen when the player tries to access historical articles on a library in the future. But he left one thing, and the fact that it's the only article left will tip off the player to its importance. The article?

| The Labyrinth of Time (Video Game) / int_b3bdf232 | comment |
Alien Geometries: The box cover shows an Escher-esque series of arches turned in varying directions, with different time periods inside each one. The Surreal Maze maps roughly to the shape of a sphere despite nothing even remotely suggesting that shape. Individual rooms in the Surreal Maze, however, are symmetrical and highly geometric... just not by the standard of any known geometry. | |

| The Labyrinth of Time (Video Game) / int_c564ef1 | comment |
Solve the Soup Cans: Downplayed. There are a number of inexplicable mazes scattered throughout the game that you are required to complete multiple times. But come on, this is a game about labyrinths. | |

Internal Retcon | |
| The Labyrinth of Time (Video Game) / int_c5cc0783 | comment |
Internal Retcon: The librarian notes in his message that the few remaining entries in the Orbital Library were altered when Minos conquered Earth in all time periods using the labyrinth. One still remains in an article about the original labyrinth. | |

Cliffhanger | |
| The Labyrinth of Time (Video Game) / int_c6b8d37a | comment |
Cliffhanger: You thwart Minos' plans by destroying the labyrinth, but are still trapped outside of reality. Since the sequel never came, we'll never know how you find your way back. | |

Shout-Out | |
| The Labyrinth of Time (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The makers apparently liked The Wizard of Oz, The Maltese Falcon and the Marx Brothers. There are a good number of self-shout-outs as well. Many environmental details are borrowed from some of the game's artist's earlier works, most notably Amiga Dreams, The Sentinel, and The Skull, the Dream, and the Dancer. | |

It's Up to You: Daedalus explains that due to his spirit being held captive, he can't refuse or leave Minos in building the Labyrinth, which is why you were brought into this in the first place. | |

| The Labyrinth of Time (Video Game) / int_e3f34fb4 | comment |
Featureless Protagonist: Partially averted. Although the game never identifies your character's age, gender, race, or other identifying markers, the introduction pegs you as a white-collar office worker from an American city. So, at least an AFGNP. | |

The Maze | |
| The Labyrinth of Time (Video Game) / int_e6ce4b | comment |
The Maze: The game is essentially one large maze. The final area, located in the center of the game map, is even called Maze Center. The re-release made this even more explicit by adding "breadcrumbs" you can follow. | |

Useless Item | |
| The Labyrinth of Time (Video Game) / int_e9d0e7ce | comment |
Useless Items are everywhere, maliciously so. In fact, roughly half the items in the game serve no purpose. The champions of this are the sword (conspicuously placed at the end of a large puzzle, possibly to distract you from the invaluable lantern nearby) and the alien belt (incredibly ornamental and interactive, does nothing). | |

| The Labyrinth of Time (Video Game) / int_ead7e42e | comment |
Walking Armory: You can find numerous weapons like a sword, axe, and six-shooter. Because the game has no enemies, though, they're either useless, or get used in an unconventional way. | |

Place Beyond Time | |
| The Labyrinth of Time (Video Game) / int_f9a8e95e | comment |
Place Beyond Time: The labyrinth appears to be expanding into a void that resembled a sunny, cloud-filled sky. Destroying the labyrinth causes time and space to unravel, leaving you stranded in this cloudy void, outside of existence. The unmade sequel's title implies that this is actually Dream Land. | |
