T.I.M.E

T.I.M.E is a first-person arena shooter where two players fight in online, networked one-on-one matches. Each match is a best-of-five: you have one life per round, and the first player to eliminate their opponent three times wins. At the end of each round, the loser rewinds time to choose a point that has already occurred as the starting point for the next round, while the winner chooses which Power Weapon is in play.

Story

The game takes place in an alternate reality ruled by a centralized totalitarian government. Its plan to create a Utopia has failed, fracturing a diesel-guzzling, highly industrialized society. As infighting spreads, the regime’s leaders attempt to rewind time to find where things went wrong and correct the point of divergence, but they cannot agree on who is responsible. Their conflict creates factions, paradoxes, alternate timelines and confusion.

You take the role of a member of the military superpower’s upper echelons in its final days. You face opposition and a time loop, rewinding to alter future outcomes, learn from mistakes and try to correct the past.

Combat and time

You fight former comrades with diesel-fueled weapons and use powerups strategically, or try to win with a golden Power Weapon. Rewinding can put you in a better position for the next round, and creating a paradox can generate new weapons or powerups during combat to shift the odds in your favor.
