Ctrl + Alt + Reset: Time Loop!




Foreshadow didn't see this coming. He sends you to confiscate a dangerous temporal artifact, and now you're stuck in a time loop. Make tomorrow come before today repeats one more time.


Time can be a fickle thing - not that I know, I never try to mess with time. For those who do, the consequences can be quite dire. Bubbawheat has a fun take on such a dire consequence in this arc, where the player is stuck in a seemingly unending time loop, with a bit of a twist. Even though you're technically playing through the same events in each of the four missions, Bubbawheat manages to make each one interesting - and also funny. Details that you had seen in each of the missions begin to grow and their meanings become clearer as you progress through the mission. It'll definitely leave you wanting to play it through again just to catch everything.

I'm happy to award this week's Dev Choice to Bubbawheat. Congratulations, you've earned it!
