Summary
I didn't have time for time quest
The Good
Clearly this is a very clever and original game. On paper all that time-travelling through history sounds amazing. I enjoyed playing it for 5 or 10 minutes, but after that my concentration strayed. Problem is, for my taste it was just too clever.
The Bad
I have simple needs when it comes to gaming. I like adventure games that tell stories, and have characters that you care about and can believe in. Timequest is too dry and humourless, puzzle-driven not plot driven. In fact there is a plot, but its so implausible it doesn't work as a plot, rather it is just a premise for a series of history-themed puzzles. In the end I didnt care what happened, I lost interest, and went and played something else.
The Bottom Line
If you like an intellectual challenge this game is for you, if you like old-time text adventures this game is for you, and if you like games that are intricately structured with complex puzzles, its for you. If not go and play Spellcasting or one of the other more playful Legend games. Personally I prefer them.
