Gameplay

The game is a point-and-click adventure game in which players study clues and symbols to solve puzzles and progress through the game. The gameplay is centered on peaceful exploration and discovery rather than challenge or conflict. Players wander through landscapes, collecting objects that function like keys to operate machines and to open doors. Progress comes from using these items in the correct places, gradually unlocking new areas and experiences. [2]

Reception

John R. Quain, writing for Entertainment Weekly gave the game a B rating. [1] A review from Electric Games gave it a score of 80% and wrote that "you are treated to a fantastic voyage of imagination that closes the game. Experienced gamers might find this game a bit too simple (and mapping the terrain can be a bit frustrating), but if you are not looking for anything too difficult, and want to be wowed by wonderful graphics and sound, this game is for you." [2]

The Palm Beach Post said "Welcome to the Future is too subtle to appeal to everyone, but after some patient exploration, I grew to like it, especially the New Age music". [7]
