The Time Trials — Pathways into Darkness Walkthrough

The game features 25 levels within an otherworldly pyramid.

Your objective is to reach the bottom level and detonate a nuclear device to stun the Dreaming God.

You have five in-game days before the god fully awakens.

You start with only a flashlight and survival knife due to equipment failure during deployment.

Enemies are created by the slowly waking god and will respawn over time.

Combat requires careful strategy as ammo is scarce, you are often under-equipped, and you move at a similar speed to monsters.

Health can be regained by resting (which speeds up time and leaves you vulnerable) or by using rare blue potions.

Blue potions are crucial for curing poison, which is inflicted by even basic monsters in later levels.

Conversations with dead individuals (found via a magic yellow crystal) provide puzzle information, strategies, and story details.

Keywords are used to interact in conversations; unrecognized keywords prompt the dead person to ask for clarification.

Items found in the pyramid grant points, with every two points increasing health by one.

Items are categorized into Weapons, Crystals (with unique powers that deplete with use, except the yellow crystal), Potions (offering temporary effects like invincibility or time slowing), Miscellaneous Items (for puzzles and inventory), and Treasure (increasing score and health).
