THE FUSE

When Anachronox released in 2001, it peeked from under the shadow of Ion Storm Dallas’ more infamous fiasco. With John Romero’s Daikatana soaking up all the resources, attention and infamy, Tom Hall’s quirky sci-fi RPG barely jettisoned out before the studio imploded. In the quarter-century since, it has accrued a more devout, cult audience, who adore its absurdist humor, detailed world and mismatched sensibilities. Now to celebrate its anniversary, Hall is unlocking his personal vaults, promising a peek behind the PC game too weird to live and too rare to die.
