About The Time Machine
The Time Machine is a VR experience where you pull a lever to travel to random points in history, peek out of your time machine to witness whatever era you've landed in, and pull again if you don't like what you see. With no control over your destination and only a small room to explore each moment in time, the appeal lies entirely in the unpredictability of what historical or mundane scene awaits you next.
What is this?
This VR game is a time machine, but you don't get to choose where you go. When you pull the lever it takes you somewhere random.You get a date telling you where you are in time and the doors open. There's no way of predicting where you'll end up. You can't leave the time machine - you can stick your head out, but be warned sometimes you might not want to.Where do I go?
You might end up somewhere significant or you might end up somewhere totally ordinary.If you don't like where you are then you pull the lever again.
Controls
The game takes place in a single 2x3m room. You can use teleport and smooth locomotion to move around in the space if you would like to play sitting down. Its best played roomscale.Have fun!

Neat short VR experience. I was a little bummed the alley is the only place you can get out and walk around. I got it in a bundle with another game for a little more than $12 which I'm okay with but I wouldn't pay more for it.13 found this helpful
I felt everything a human being could feel. Two games, two bangers. Sometimes I wanted those doors to close immediately. Sometimes I never wanted them to close at all. How does someone create an experience which makes me feel trapped, yet free at the same time?3 found this helpful
Really fun and interesting experience, looking forward to the next one2 found this helpful
i mess with time and meet a god i think?
I kinda just don't understand the appeal... It's supposed to be a time machine that takes you to different times and places, but there's almost never anything happening and definitely never any explanations what is important about this date and why are you looking at a desert. Even when you recognize a place, it always manages to show it in a very unexciting way. Like 9/11 is in the game, but it's view of twin towers hours before the attack. What a ripoff! It would be a lot more exciting if it either showed the event itself or the aftermath. Game shows the day that 2008 financial crisis started by showing us... A view of a city from the ocean. Not stock market with people panicking, not people in the streets, just distant landscape of a city. And all the locations are like that. Nothing is happening, you just look at some landscape with a date attached. And since you can't even leave the time machine, it's not any better than looking up a picture online and actually reading about the event.
Was definitely expecting a bit more. But for what it has, It's pretty awesome.
