In a world where time is a commodity traded in secret, you play as Alex Mercer, a disgraced chronologist who discovers a sinister plot to monopolize time itself. As you navigate a series of bizarre timelines, you'll interact with eccentric characters from various epochs—like a time-traveling bard, a futuristic detective, and a medieval alchemist—all while trying to uncover who is manipulating time and why. Your choices shape the timelines you visit, the relationships you build, and ultimately, what happens to the fabric of time. Will you restore balance, or will you become a pawn in a larger game of temporal chess?
