About The Temporal Invasion
The Temporal Invasion is a story-driven alternate reality game that blends real-life research with science fiction. You solve mysteries and puzzles tied to conspiracies, alternate history, the supernatural and fringe science, using in-game investigative tools alongside resources such as the internet, books, libraries and other people.
Story
A young man has spent his life with memories of the past that do not match reality. His teachers and classmates ridicule him for it, until an enigmatic figure named Dr. Quantum tells him that the condition is an immunity and a special power connected to the fabric of time. Dr. Quantum recruits him to oppose a deadly adversary by solving conspiracies, puzzles and mysteries from history. Uncovering the truth behind them reveals fundamental secrets of the universe.
Solve the mysteries
Puzzles combine text, images, sound, video, CCTV footage and 3D objects. They build on discoveries made earlier in the story and lead to more complex enigmas. Solutions may be hidden in historical information, cryptograms, steganographic images, riddles or other concealed clues.
The game includes a sandbox computer with custom investigative software and a suite of investigative gadgets. You also need to draw on real-world research, including online sources, books, libraries and encyclopedias; some puzzles may require extensive internet searching.
