About ARC Continuum
ARC Continuum is an action and adventure game set on a new sci-fi world. Discover a rich universe with ancient history that has been violently occupied by the vicious alien Kasaar race. You take on the role of Hadrian, a regular Taraanian, who is trying to get by until a mysterious time traveler sets in motion a series of events that will change his life, and the planet's future forever.
Long before recorded Taraan history, the people of Taraan lived in the ignorance of the planet’s power. However, one amongst them discovered the uniqueness of the planet: a raw and powerful energy that could tame the chaos of time. From this discovery, the ARC was created, a device capable of controlling the rhythm of life itself. With this power, a civilization flourished for centuries and disappeared without reason. Modern day Taraanians know little of this history but stories have been preserved in myths and legends, unaware that their cities are built on the very location where their past once flourished.
The ARC is a device of near godlike power, with the ARC you gain control over time itself, granting you fantastical powers to slow, rewind or manipulate the flow of time. Alter the fabric of time and summon other versions of yourself from different timelines for multiplayer cooperative fights.
The core game play of ARC Continuum revolves around using the ARC and its various powers not only to solve puzzles, but to help you fight many enemies, like the Kasaar, a warlike race that travels the galaxy looking for worlds to conquer and technology to claim. They seek the power of the ARC and have deployed some of their deadliest troops to acquire it at all costs.
In ARC Continuum, parts of the Taraanian world are in time flux. These localized disturbances are the results of the experimentation in time technology. With the disruption in time, you have the opportunity to jump to alternate timelines where you can request help from other versions of yourself and complete cooperative multiplayer time objectives.

Oh Boy !! Where do i start ? 8 mins !! 8 mins was enough for me to decide to refund this game !! Thats like the world record !! How did this happen ? - i couldnt set any keybindings - i started the game, the movement feels terrible, mouse sensitivity is crap - i approached a group of mobs and i noticed they keep shooting at me and not only my character is immortal but also there is no animation of taking damage - i tried to kill with ranged weapon - you have to spam the sht out of ur mouse button - the mob died - i tried to kill mob with melee attack - the mobs dont even record taking any damage - i decided to stand in place for a while and let some mobs attack me - woo after 30 seconds i died => there was note saying smth like you died and the game crashed => it crashed so bad that i had to restart the PC !! * many other strange things happened during this 8 mins but i will spare you that boring story this game should not even be considered a tech demo !!34 found this helpful
I played it when it was in early access, and it was a mess. I waited for a offcial release, and i have to say, It's still a mess. Maybe even worse, than before. Too bad, it was look very interestin. It needs more updates, cause that's not a fully released game.17 found this helpful
This early access project did not work out. :( It seems after 1 update the developers gave up and decided to just release what they had as a finished product. It's janky and very repetitive. I played as much as I could to find out if they actually did anything since I first played it and I didn't see the difference. I also couldn't even finish it. This is a formal video that explains the game and my thoughts thoroughly, https://youtu.be/xGfypLn9uwU13 found this helpful
Nice, but very early release, can't even configure controls. Or even see what they are?7 found this helpful
This is definately not a finished game, hence the early access. However, it is quite an interesting adventure and brief introduction to games world and cool time manipulation based gameplay. I think it has a fair way to go to be polished release, but for the price it was definately a fun little play with some interesting game mechanics.4 found this helpful
