The New Adventures of the Time Machine (French: La Machine à Voyager Dans le Temps) is an adventure video game released in 2000, developed and published by Cryo Interactive. It is based on H. G. Wells' novella The Time Machine.

Production

[edit | edit source]

Design

[edit | edit source]

During development the characters and backgrounds began as wire frames.[4][5]

The game features real time 3D animation in pre-rendered sets, using the 'Warp' technology.

Plot

[edit | edit source]

A mythical being, a Demi-God, The Master of the Hourglass: Khronos, is the only one who can restore the balance of time, and help to find a time again.

Reception

[edit | edit source]

Market research firm PC Data reported North American retail sales of 11,252 copies for Time Machine during 2000.[6] The firm tabulated another 18,097 retail sales of the game in North America during 2001,[7] and 21,585 during the first six months of 2002.[8] In 2003, its jewel case SKU secured 16,747 sales in the region.[9]

GameSpot thought the game alternated between a "nonsensical story" and "infuriating puzzles".[10] IGN felt that the game didn't push the boundaries for Cryo and tested player's patience.[11] Jeux Video praised the game's beauty and interactivity.[12] Eurogamer praised the story and graphics and gave the game a 9/10.[13] John Walker of Rock Paper Shotgun criticised the premise of making H. G. Wells the time traveling protagonist himself.[14]
