Karma: Curse of the 12 Caves is a 1995 FMV adventure game. In 1998, DreamCatcher Interactive re-released the game as Quest for Karma. The game was released in Japan for PlayStation and Sega Saturn as Takuramakan.

Plot

[edit]

In the caves of Dun-Huang, a demon set a trap, so effective that it also trapped the workers who built the trap. It is the player's job to free them.

Gameplay

[edit]

The game plays similarly to Myst, another FMV adventure game, except this title has a narrator that guides the player through the narrative and puzzles.

Critical reception

[edit]

PC Game praised the game's atmosphere but disliked its illogical puzzles.[1] Just Adventure's Ray Ivey positively compared it to two other Dreamcatcher titles: Jewels of the Oracle and Jewels II: The Ultimate Challenge.[2] Philip Jong of Adventure Classic Gaming wrote that the game was released "quietly" with little fanfare.[3]
