About The Time Machine

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!

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?

This game is freaky but fun had MAJOR performance issues (and trust me its not just my internet I can run boneworks better than this) The overall premise of the game is that you go to random points in time (which can also include some very dark ones) by the end everything becomes weird and distorted. This game is more of an experience than a game but still fun overall. 7/10

I bought this game specifically for the Net of Being at the end of the game, im not sure if the creator has listened to TOOL or just enjoys Alex Grey's art ETC it was really cool to see it in vr!!!
