Lost in Time is a point-and-click adventure game that combines FMV with a first-person perspective and centers around a time travel plot. Sadly I cannot say many positive things about it. Though the premise might seem intriguing at first glance and the gameplay unique, it falls flat on both accounts.

The time travel is a gimmick that is never build upon. The puzzles - which mostly urge you to become the next MacGyver - are never involved in any time travel shenanigans, unlike, for example, the puzzles of Day of the Tentacle. The gameplay has further annoyances, like backtracking due to bad FMV design decisions and unmotivating direction.

The bare-bones plot goes nowhere, the characters are uninteresting, and dialogue and acting are at times comically bad. The soundtrack is barely there and mostly annoying.

It frustrates me that the game doesn’t do anything good with the premise it‘s given.
