Temporal Tides

Navigate the treacherous waters of a paradoxical universe aboard a ship adjacent to a massive black hole. The main gameplay loop is a ‘Temporal Paradox’, where the player’s actions are simultaneously reflected and opposed by the echoes from an alternate timeline. Earn points by shooting alternate versions of yourself, but be careful to avoid crossfire when your variants mirror your actions. The game also introduces a ‘Predestination Paradox’, challenging the concept of free will versus determinism, as players confront the consequences of their actions in real-time through their mirrored adversaries. This chaotic and hectic gameplay experience serves as a thrilling exploration of paradoxical phenomena, immersing players in a universe where every action has an equal and opposite reaction, questioning the very nature of cause and effect.
