✦ AI summary

The Timeless Child - Prologue is praised by players for its clever puzzle design and intriguing story setup, though most reviews express disappointment that this is only a prologue with no confirmed full game in development. Some players report technical issues with subtitle synchronization during cutscenes, and the game's difficulty may not appeal to everyone, but those who enjoyed it generally wish there were more content to experience.

During the introductory cutscene, the other player's started a little after mine. This caused a problem because subtitles were synced with his cutscene and mine was disappeared before the voices said the according text. Nevertheless, it was a really nice prologue. It's a shame there's no news about a sequel, and I'm not sure there ever will be.
