A Wizard alone in a shattered world
Journey across Tempus, a world of floating islands flora and fauna. You are a lonely wizard, once a caretaker of the temporal flows, now retired and hoping for the world to return to what it once was. With no purpose left a call to action comes from a small rock critter, crying for help as it finds itself far from home and lost in the wilderness.
Use your magic to guide the critter and it's family home while you traverse hostile terrain, solve puzzles, fight vegetative enemies and find secrets in this charming student-made action adventure game.
And if you don't want to save the critters... There's always the alternative..
Magic
In the world of Tempus, magic is not free. Every action has consequence and as such you must be careful when harnessing the energy of your surroundings to fuel spellcasting. Carelessness will limit your options and you may just find yourself in a pickle.
On the flipside, moveĀ without haste and the friends you make along the way might lend you a hand or crystal to aid your spell slinging adventure.
A Reactive world
With only a simple projectile TEMPUS aims to provide some engaging moments and fun interactions through handcrafted challenges, puzzles and environments. Take your time to explore a small world and journey through the clouds.
Blast a companion, hug a "friend", the world will carry on without you in the end.
Secrets
While the main story is short, we've made sure to include several achievements and secrets for curious players to find and hopefully enjoy, give it a whirl if you dare, take a leap of faith and don't trust a flower by it's petals.
Thank you for playing!
