About the Game

2020 - AN ALIEN FAR EAST IS ABOUT TO INVADE OUR TIMELINE.


Purple-eyed and red-haired, carefree and amnesiac, Ethel Montgomery has got to be the least discrete spy in the world. Yet her unique supernatural vision powers made her the agent of choice for the Federal Bureau of Time, which assigned her its most crucial and perilous mission : unmasking the mole inside her team about to sell her entire timeline to an alternate Japanese Empire even more tyrannical than the one we have known.

  • Modernized tank controls ! Don't know what that is ? It's the control scheme used by old survival horror games like Resident Evil, which do not take into account the camera's orientation but rather the player character's own. It still takes some time to get used to it if you haven't played that kind of game, but once you do you'll be able to enjoy a combination of old-school exploration and cinematographic action sequences !

  • Explore a variety of environments through time and space, from today's Texan cities to the battle of Sekigahara or Kowloon Walled city.

  • An unabashedly political and pro free speech story - from religion to abortion and war crimes, no subject is controversial enough to break Ethel's cool !

  • Long Tarantino-like dialogues with a few Telltale-like moral dilemmas.

  • A dense, linear and carefully paced adventure that respects your personal time, planned to be 10 hours long top, with no needless fillers.
