Full disclosure I got a copy of this from the developer (thanks!). This is a very short "game", more of a quick interactive novel if anything. There is really not much to say about this one. I think the developer has definite potential as the style and functionality of the game works well. But there is no real story here or gameplay to speak of so I am kind of at a loss as to what to say. The game is pretty cheap at $2 but honestly if i spent that I would feel i wasted it. Again I'd be interested to see what the developer comes up with in the future as I think the talent is there, but this one is a pass from me.

[quote][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_slop][b]Warning: AI Slop[/b][/url] This game is partially or completely made with talentless, soulless AI generated content.[/quote] This comes across as more of an attempt to get YOUR money than anything else... yeah at face value this looks like a sincere game but really it's a short tech demo slapped together with Godot and AI slop with a price tag on it. A short, pointless and poorly written "more book than game" point and click "adventure" with a lame science fiction theme about protecting the timeline... I think it's remarkable, because I watched all of DC's Legends of Tomorrow which was all about protecting timelines too, and that was utter garbage, and, despite being only 30 minutes long, this is way, way worse. The game is very very short and can be finished in 30 minutes. Developers have at least some responsibility to provide enough content to make a game last more than an hour or so if they're serious about providing something of value to gamers. There's less content here than some free game demos. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. As…
