Titanic: Adventure Out of Time (1996) --- The Adventure Game That Plays Itself

Welcome to Society of Sensation, a retro video game review show for the rest of us. In this episode, I look at Titanic: Adventure Out of Time, a forgotten adventure game from the mid-90s that has nothing to do with the James Cameron film. What do the Boer War, Curtis Yarvin’s favorite philosopher, and the Titanic craze of the late 90s have to do with each other? Watch and find out.

New videos will be posted the first week of every month.

Have a suggestion for a game I should review? Post it in the comments. (If I don’t own the game in question and you’re willing to gift it to me on Steam, your recommendation will carry more weight.)
