GAME DEVELOPMENT STORY
The development of the game began in 2020.
Our vision was to create a unique gameplay experience, with Time as the core mechanic and a story that deeply immerses the player in the game world.
In the beginning, the complexity and scale of the project felt overwhelming, especially for a small team of just five developers. But we were driven by the desire to explore new ideas and craft something truly original.
Building a believable world where the protagonist, Mai, could move between past and present—shaping both realities—was our greatest challenge. Yet we’re confident that the mechanics have evolved into something truly captivating.
We sincerely hope this game will inspire players around the world!
INSPIRATION AND CURIOSITIES
The inspiration and core idea for the game stem from classic titles of the past—especially the Zelda series—but also from more modern games like Journey and Nier Automata. We set out to blend various gameplay styles to craft a unique world with original, never-before-seen mechanics.
The story revolves around the connections between past, present, and future, and how each can influence the others.
In addition to the main protagonist, players will also take control of a second character, unveiling new layers of the narrative from an alternate perspective.
The protagonist, Mai, will be guided on her journey by an ancient, long-forgotten civilization—a reminder of how vital the past can be, even when it is often overlooked.
After five years of development, we truly believe the result is something special—an experience that will keep players engaged for countless hours!
Discover a possible future where humanity is nearly extinct, following the Last Great War — the most devastating of all. The ability to alter the flow of time may be the only way to change the fate of the world.
This is a game where Time itself takes center stage, blurring the line between illusion and reality — and revealing how it can be shaped and reshaped.
The main story offers around 20 hours of gameplay, but due to the complexity of puzzles and challenges, the actual playtime will depend on each player’s skills. If things get tough, players can team up with friends thanks to the Coop Mode.
Beyond the main adventure, the game also includes optional challenges and side dungeons designed to test even the most experienced players. And there’s more — several free DLCs are already in development, bringing new story chapters and dungeons to expand your journey even further!
