Virtual Nightclub: A Game About Time

When you're up for a wild night on the town, you might slither through the window of a nightclub in London packed with groups, famous people, art exhibitions and a melange of offbeat videos. It won't be necessary to call a travel agent, however. Just switch on a computer equipped with a CD-ROM drive or a television with a CD player and slip into the world's first nightclub on a disc. Called The Virtual Nightclub, it offers a kaleidoscopic swath of London night life in high-resolution computer graphics that will hold hours of interactive leisure reality. It's somewhere between MTV and a video game, a product that combines interactive technology with cutting-edge sounds.

VNC: Virtual Nightclub - A Game About Time is set in a virtual nightclub. While exploring its five zones to find a way out, the player will meet live-action characters and eventually investigate a murder.

The screens are often animated and have surreal viewpoints, but movement works similar to contemporary rendered adventures: clicking on the correct part of the screen starts a transition animation to another screen. Besides navigation, the gameplay consists of finding and using items as well as playing mini-games. Those are often music themed and require clicking on the correct parts of the screen with the correct timing.
