In a world where time is a commodity and the past is fluid, you play as a charismatic time detective, Max Ticktock. Tasked with resolving temporal anomalies caused by a rogue time thief known only as 'The Causalist', you will navigate through various timelines, from the grand ballrooms of 18th-century Paris to the neon-lit alleys of a dark cyberpunk future. Each choice you make alters the very fabric of time itself, leading to unpredictable consequences. Can you catch the thief before time runs out, or will you get caught in a chronological conundrum of your own making?
