As the Steam page says, time travel is real
and history is up for grabs.

You play Fia Quinn, whom we have met before
but not yet (relatively speaking). Which is a
round about way of saying that timey-wimey
time travel stuff is a whole heap of fun.

Thanks so much for the review, flotsam! So sorry for the late reply, we have had some hiccups in the forum and this slipped under the radar!

Thank you, Drac!

What about the "death loops", Marian? Do you like those? I think I will get sick of them and use a walkthrough as flotsam did. That is, when I someday get to buying and playing this game. smile

Not sure how I will feel about that, ob. For various reasons, though, I have decided to wait on this game for a year or two. There are other games that have a higher priority with me.

I think there are two very important point and click games to play right now...important in the sense that they further the genre. One is Rosewater and the other is Old Skies. While they may both have their foibles along the road, in the end there is a feeling and realization of oooohhh, that's cool. And perhaps a tip of the hat to the next interesting move...

Thanks KatieB. I was able to pick up Rosewater with a 37% discount last week but I don't know when I will actually feel like playing it. I rather like the adventure genre just the way it is. blush

It looks to be another good Wadjet Eye game. Death loops have me hesitant for now as well but has been wishlisted to keep an eye on

Thank you flotsam for another very good review

Thanks Drac


It's never too late!
