How it feels

You flip through a hand-drawn comic where every panel is a choice, bouncing between madcap science and personal discovery.

What players say

Players love the quirky time-travel story and branching choices, but many feel the price is too high for the short experience, which runs under an hour. The comic-book origins earn praise, especially from nostalgic readers, and finding the true ending is a rewarding puzzle.
