He also counts on the help of a versatile context-sensitive tool which makes available different functions to him, depending on the pocket universe he visits. Bottled time may also be used to activate objects and trigger ongoing events which were halted by the temporal stasis. In order to move within pocket universes in which time is stagnant, Korda employs "bottled time", a container which when opened provides him with a field in which times flows normally. Verdry for example, owned by a woman known for creating a philosophical movement centered on nonsense and unreality, contains a world shaped and colored like an Easter egg.
Each pocket universe has a unique feel to it, reflecting the personality and interests of its owner. The world key (each protected by a unique puzzle) stops or starts the universe's temporal flow. Each world requires Korda to travel to magnetic North and use a "resonance tracer" to locate the universe's "world key".
Korda is hired by a representative of the "Terran Regional government" to restore two pocket universes from a state of "temporal stasis" and to find out who is responsible for the situation.Įach pocket universe contains a single solar system with anywhere from one to several worlds Korda can visit. Due to Roger's passing, Dreamforge used in-house puzzle and game designers John McGirk and Aaron Kreader to complete a majority of the game puzzles, while leaving the overall game plot and concept intact as per Roger's vision.Ĭhronomaster narrates the story of Rene Korda (voiced by Ron Perlman), a retired and formerly renowned designer of "pocket universes" - self-contained worlds developed according to the tastes of the person who finances their construction.
Its main plot was written by novelist Roger Zelazny and was his last known work, as he died during the development of the game. Chronomaster is adventure game developed by DreamForge Intertainment for MS-DOS compatible operating systems and published by IntraCorp on 20 December 1995.
