Set in a whimsical world where time is a commodity, players assume the role of a snarky time-hacker named Max Tick, who can slip between the cracks of history to unravel bizarre heists across different eras. As Max navigates through riotous timelines—from stealing Mona Lisa's smile in Renaissance Florence to popping into a futuristic utopia where humor is outlawed—players must outsmart historical figures, solve intricate puzzles, and manage their 'time credits' to keep the timeline intact. The challenge intensifies with each era visited, as mysteries and mishaps pile up, making time management a thrillingly chaotic affair.
