The Journeyman Project 3: Legacy of Time

Loved this game in my youth, but I can't get it to work on Windows 10. The video plays way faster than the audio, de-syncing them. I haven't found a working solution so far.

I love the imagination and sincerity that went into this series, and the third installment is no exception- it's a fun sci-fi tale with strong continuity ties to the previous games, the characters are memorable, colorful and fun to interact with, the acting's decent, the environments are interesting, and the puzzles are fairly easy without being boring- and if you ever do get stuck, there's a built-in hint system. The new chameleon suit, in addition to being a pretty cool update to the bulky deep-sea-diver-looking time suits from before, introduces a new mechanic where you can take on the guise of anyone you see, and it's fun to change form and see how the same people react differently to you depending on who they believe you are. As far as I could tell, there were no deaths this time, making a game over impossible, though you can manage to get beaten up by a couple characters in a fairly amusing fashion. Your chatty AI assistant, Arthur, is back from the previous game, and his quips range from annoyingly over-the-top to laugh-out-loud funny. He can be a little irritating sometimes, but it really wouldn't be the same without him. The other characters have some interesting twists and revelations that might surprise you, and the aliens are surprisingly present and real-feeling despite their very badly dated CGI. It feels a little lighter and sillier than the previous entries in the series, but is a very enjoyable journey.

An atmospheric point'and'click game that's really fun to play through. You don't have to have played the earlier games in the series to get the story (since I didn't back when it came out). If you are into mythological places like Atlantis, El Dorado and Shangrai La it scratches that itch and if you are into historical things like Ancient Grreece and native southern american cultures you learn a lot about that as well. A bit clunky to get running and even then graphical problems with the cursor and certain areas of the screen took away some of the enjoyment. A tip for others is to lower the graphics of your screen and that makes the game start, or sometimes it just worked for some reason, but I managed get it running without the need for downloading external patches or such things. Still hope for a ScummVM adaption in the future to make it work pefectly.

I love this game. Bought it a decade ago off GoG (indeed, discovered GoG because of it) and could play it on Vista and Windows 10 no problem. Now it no longer works out of the box on Windows 11. It freezes at the main menu every time. GoG, get your stuff together and make this compatible again because anyone purchasing this now is buying a lemon.

Got this game way back for Windows XP along with the first and second. Absolutely loved it start to finish. Fun and intriguing plot with decent puzzles and lore and an excellent cast.
