About the Game

How far would you go to save the ones you love?

One day in college, your friend Noah invites you to a seminar about time travel. There, you witness the inventor, Leon, take his own life with a gun. As the gunshot rings out, buried memories start to flood back…you realize you’re trapped in some kind of recurring dream.

What happened in the past, and what will happen tomorrow? Trace back through fourteen years of memories, cross timelines, meet cute boys… and try to save everyone - including yourself.
