Summary

The player run, jumps and climbs through the level while killing enemies and collecting the puzzle pieces but each level has it's own link to time, which produces a unique style of gameplay.

The game is split into 6 sections:

Time and Forgiveness (World 2)

Time and Forgiveness is played like a normal platform game. It also has a few sections which would be impossible to pass without the rewind feature. This level is designed to introduce the player to contoling time.

Time and Mystery (World 3)

Time and Mystery introduces players to objects which are unaffected by time. It plays in the same way as World 2 but the player must use the fact that some objects are unaffected by time to pass some areas.

Time and Place (World 4)

Time and place has the player linked to the game world. When the player moves right time flows forward, and when the player moves left time flows backwards. The player can also pause time by standing still. This causes some unique situations in which the player has to go backwards and forwards to reach a point.

[edit]

Time and Decision (World 5)

Time and Decision is focused on a shadow version of the player. When the player completes a action and rewinds time, the shadow will repeat what was done. This means the player can do something else. The play in this level focus on cooperative play between the player and the shadow.

Hesitance (World 6)

Hesitance has the player gain a ring which can be dropped. When dropped, evreything next to the ring, including the player, slows down. The player must carefulley place this ring around the level, to gain access to puzzle pieces, and advance through the level.
