About the Game

The Machine Sees All

In a dystopian future, the omniscient »them« watch over humanity—controlling thoughts, monitoring minds, ruling society with cold precision. But not everyone has given up hope.

Hidden away from prying sensors, Grandpa has been working on something that could change everything: a time machine. When he invites his grandson Dorc to join him, it's the beginning of a journey that will span the ages.

Equipped with a robot suit that grants special abilities, Dorc prepares for the jump that will set things right. But something goes wrong. Dorc is stranded—scattered across time itself.

A Journey Through Time

Navigate through distinct timezones, each with its own challenges and secrets:

  • The Jungle — A prehistoric world of primal dangers

  • The Ocean World — Aquatic depths hiding ancient mysteries

  • The Desolation — A barren wasteland of what once was

  • The Machine World — Where it all began... and where it must end

Find your way back. Find Grampa. And find a way to free humanity from »their« gaze.

Change the Past, Shape the Future

Time isn't just a backdrop—it's a tool. Actions in the past ripple forward. Flip a switch in an ancient era and watch the present transform. Solve puzzles that span centuries. What you change then determines what exists now.

Suit Up

Your robot suit comes equipped with swappable ability modules. Different challenges demand different tools. Swap modules to adapt, experiment, and find creative solutions.
