About Time Gamers: 12000 Years in One Square Mile

In a one-square-mile area in the United States, evidence has shown that there have been 12,000 years of continuous human habitation. From Native American, to the first European expedition (de Soto), and first backcountry fort and settlement. In this same area, there were battles of both the American Revolution and the American Civil War. This game/simulation recreates the objects and terrain of this history. You are a time gamer. Until now, time gamers were just explorers. The only thing they could bring back from a parallel universe were the memories of their experience. But new methods and technology will allow you to bring back specially designed devices from the future. Your combined universes have been selected so that such a future device may be found. Specifically, you will need to find a DNA sniffer which will allow you to sample and bring back the DNA of extinct life forms. If successful in your mission, these samples will be used to map the DNA history of Earth. This mapping will allow scientists to build and clone the animals of the future.. animals that will be able to survive the growing challenges of our planet. Features:
  • Immersive World: From pure native cultures to the first European settlers, you will move through prehistory and through the American Revolution and Civil War, and into the 20th century. But it is an item from the future that is key to mission success.
  • Soundtrack: Original music written by award winning songwriters for this game. It sets the tone and mood for important scenes and leaves you with memorable melodies.
  • 3D Anaglyph Mode: With the press of a key, you can turn the game into 3D. Red/Cyan 3D glasses are required.
  • Historical Narration: As you move around, a narrator will educate you on the true history of each location you enter. You will interact with people of that time. The buildings you encounter have been recreated based on historical documentation and local archaeology work.
  • Critical Decisions: You must find, identify, and sample, key DNA targets. Some of these may be "hidden". You must always be looking for clues.
  • Achievements: In addition to DNA targets, you will also have the opportunity to explore and earn many achievements.

Awesome game if you are a history lover. It took me while to find a few of the DNA targets, and I still have a couple of achievements to get.

Got them all (DNA targets and all achievements). I have walked these trails (Timmerman trail) and it's cool to get a feel for how all the history lays out in this small area. It will give me a whole new perspective next time I go there.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
