Description from Moby Games:
Rheom 1 is a terrestrial planet of eternal daylight. Recently, a research facility has been established there, with a group of scientists working on a mysterious Satin Project. However, strange events begin to happen there. The head of the project, Dr. Victoria Fayn, has killed another scientist, allegedly in self-defense. The Interstellar Transportation Commission sends an agent named Chatt Rhuller to investigate the incident. As Chatt is prevented from leaving the research facility, he begins to realize that something far more sinister is going on, and is determined to get to the bottom of the mystery.
Zero Critical is a third-person adventure game. The player interacts with the environment by using a point-and-click interface. Most of the gameplay is dedicated to gathering clues by having conversations with the characters (including the choice of different topics), as well as solving predominantly inventory-based puzzles.
This game is a sequel to Majestic: Alien Encounter and an indirect sequel to Symbiocom, both by the same developer.

Comments
This isn't just a 68k issue. I'm getting the same error on SheepShaver, whether I mount the iso in Toast 5 or set it as a disk to mount at launch.
Has anybody else had any success in running this iso on any Mac?
I'd try it on Windows XP to see if this is just a problem with this image, but the game refuses to run there. It claims I need at least 3 MB of virtual memory available, but I've got a page file with 1536 MB of virtual memory allocated, and a maximum of 3 GB. Seems unlikely that virtual memory is really the issue.
Has anyone been able to run this game from the iso that was uploaded to Mac Garden?
In Basilisk II and on my Quadra 800, I get the same error when I try and launch the game:
I run into the same error message if I try to mount the iso with Toast Deluxe 4.1.2 on the Mac or Basilisk II, or if I set this iso as one of the disks that Basilisk II mounts at launch.
I haven't had any trouble running the other games in the series through those methods, Majestic or Symbiocom, or any other CD-ROM game on this website. Just this one.
It could be that this game works fine on a Power Mac, but the readme indicates that a 68040 Mac fulfills the minimum requirements. This game's clearly compiled as a FAT binary.
Hmm.
thanks, I figured it might be something I was doing wrong, probably the same with the other link I was having issues with.
As described in the comments on max1zzz's list you need to replace
http://max1zzz.co.uk:8000
by
ftp://files:files@max1zzz.co.uk
So http://max1zzz.co.uk:8000/Zero Critical/Zero_Critical.iso.sit
becomes
ftp://files:files@max1zzz.co.uk/Zero Critical/Zero_Critical.iso.sit
This is not clickable so copy and paste this into your browser
This will not be necessary after max1zzz has replaced the links on the relevant pages.
unfortunately, the link from his list doesn't seem to work, even tried the copy and paste method. I tried searching but can't seem to find the game at all, maybe I'm missing something.
You can get it from max1zzz's list
Looks promising... where is the download?
