About the Game

⏳ CAN YOU SURVIVE IN A WORLD WHERE TIME ITSELF IS SHATTERED?

Your family is held captive by a merciless force. The only way to save them is to use the cursed invention your genius father left behind, the one that only responds to your DNA: the Time Machine.

But there is a terrible price for tampering with time. As the layers of reality collapse, you’ll find yourself trapped in the darkest ages of human history, hunted by deadly entities that stalk your every step. To save your family, you must unravel the secrets of the past. Fail, and they all die. Succeed, and… you might just bring about the end of the universe.

👁️ HUNT, HIDE, SURVIVE This is no power fantasy; it’s pure psychological survival horror. Travel through different eras and confront the unique nightmares each age conceals:

  • 🌑 Lurk in the Shadows: Escape the demonic forces that try to poison your mind in plague-ridden, cursed villages of the Middle Ages. Don’t make a sound, hold your breath, and turn the darkness to your advantage.

  • 🏺 Unravel Deadly Secrets: Descend into the claustrophobic corridors of Ancient Egyptian pyramids. Use your wits to overcome forgotten rituals and merciless traps. One wrong step, and it’s over.

  • 🌀 Defy the Laws of Time: Manipulate temporal anomalies (Temporal Convergence) around you to solve intricate puzzles. As reality twists and warps, cling to what’s left of your sanity.

⚖️ YOUR CHOICES CARRY WEIGHT Every “Legendary Stone” you collect brings you one step closer to your family… and pushes the universe one step nearer to the abyss. Manage your resources, outsmart your pursuers, and uncover the true agenda of the mysterious Professor.

You can’t turn back time… but you can defy it to wake up from this nightmare.

Turn off the lights. Put on your headphones. And face the horrors of the past. 🎧
