Step into the shoes of Max Tick, a snarky time-traveling freelance historian who stumbles upon a chaotic timeline where history is unraveling. Players must navigate various historical eras from the Roaring Twenties to the distant future, interacting with iconic figures and fateful events while juggling wacky side missions. Players can use a mix of dialogue choices, time-based puzzles, and clever quips to alter historical outcomes, collect artifacts, and thwart the inter-temporal villains trying to dismantle the timeline for their own gain. The narrative branches allow for surprising consequences and multiple endings based on player decisions.
