Japan only 'intervention' sim where you try to make some nobody's life better. Inspired by the early Internet popularity of things like the Trojan Room coffee pot and JenniCam. Featuring music by Richard Jacques and Serani Poji, a fictional pop idol that eventually released an independent album unrelated to the game!
In 1996, Computer Gaming World declared Labyrinth of Time the 43rd-worst computer game ever released.
