About Turn back the clock:Hsinchu

"Turn back the clock:Hsinchu" takes the historical time and space of Hsinchu City, Taiwan as the background of the game. The story revolves around the common adventure between a contemporary historian and an agent of the Time and Space Security Bureau from the future. In the plot, the player needs to alternately play the two protagonists, using a dual-perspective method, to gradually explore the truth of the event in the process of rectifying and repairing historical events.

The scene design of this game is based on real historical time and space, creating a very high sense of immersion in the age, allowing players to experience the historical time and space changes and cultural connotations of Hsinchu City while playing.

Feature of the product:

■Distinctive art style: The game art is realized in a simple Low Poly style, which simply but completely retains the architectural and humanistic characteristics of Hsinchu in various eras.

■Through the plot based on historical facts: We invite professional film and television screenwriters Monica and Shaballe to write, and plan chapters in the mode of unit drama. The game plot is based on historical events, supplemented by a sci-fi time-space travel worldview, allowing players to have more magical imagination space for established historical events.

■Double protagonist line: Players can choose the characters to play according to the progress of the plot, and experience the same script from different character perspectives as the starting point. The two protagonists will also experience conflict, cooperation, choice, and other plots, adding a touch to the script color.

■Abundant action and puzzle-solving elements: The game is not limited to static observation and puzzle-solving, but also has dynamic action elements for players to complete when encountering emergencies.

■360 Surround View Video Appreciation: Provides five scenic spots with 4K high-resolution stereo shooting in VR 180/360, players can see the current situation of Hsinchu scenic spots.

Turn back the clock: Hsinchu stands out as an unconventional virtual reality adventure that blends Taiwanese history with a science-fiction story built around time travel. Instead of presenting Hsinchu merely as a backdrop, the game makes the city’s history, landmarks, and cultural development an essential part of the experience. Developed by 邦鼎科技 and published by 新竹市文化局, it is clearly designed with cultural preservation and historical education in mind, but it attempts to make those subjects more engaging through exploration, puzzles, narrative choices, and occasional action. The central premise revolves around disturbances in history that must be investigated and corrected. Two protagonists from different backgrounds become involved: a historian from the present era and an agent associated with a futuristic organization responsible for protecting the timeline. This contrast gives the narrative a useful foundation, allowing historical knowledge and science-fiction concepts to coexist without either feeling completely disconnected. Their differing perspectives also provide opportunities for cooperation, disagreement, and character interaction as they attempt to determine what has …
