About

BUILD your world. INVENT your weapons. CREATE your adventure. Discover a secret binding the past, present and future. A secret where an innocent inventor, a temporal warrior and an ageless evil hold the key. Experience an epic action/RPG adventure that relies on your innovation as much as exploration and fighting reflexes.

What players say
