Titanic: Adventure Out of Time is a video game for the personal computer. It was developed by Cyberflix and was published in the United States by GTE Entertainment and released on October 31, 1996.

The game is a point and click adventure game which sees the player travelling around a virtual representation of the RMS Titanic, the doomed ocean liner which struck an iceberg on April 14, 1912 and sank with great loss of life.

The game begins with the player being caught in a fatal explosion during the London Blitz of World War II and being sent back in time to 1912 with an opportunity to change history. In 1912, he is a British secret agent who has been sent to retrieve a priceless copy of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (such an item is believed to have actually been aboard the real Titanic). The open-ended gameplay allows the player to either follow the storyline by solving puzzles or simply explore the rooms of the ship. The computer graphics of the ship have been used in several documentaries about the Titanic, due to their authenticity.

Halfway through the game, the Titanic begins to sink and the main character must complete his mission before the last lifeboat leaves. Along with an ending where the character completes his mission (and with no sign of the two world wars), it features several endings for an unsuccessful mission, such as history as we know it, Germany completing an atomic bomb, and Germany conquering Britain.

Besides the game, the CD-ROM also included a separate exploration feature that featured characters in the game discussing various aspects of the ship, its crew, and the sinking. Several character narrations were included with the game, while others could be downloaded from the game's website. These characters would be placed at locations around the ship.

Characters in Adventure Out of Time were rendered by way of photographs of actors given limited animation in sync with dialogue. The producers of this game used this same style of rendering for a previous adventure entitled Dust: A Tale of the Wired West. Dust and Titanic are linked by the presence of the character "Buick Riviera". In Dust, Riviera is a con artist in a remote town in the Old West; in Titanic, Riviera is now an elderly man who spends his time playing cards on the ship.
