A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

Work with your past self to escape the clutches of a cursed pocket watch!

Face deadly apparitions, solve devious puzzles, find mysterious objects that exist outside of time! 

CONTAIN THE WATCH. BREAK THE LOOP. 

Made for the Goedware 13 Game Jam.

Controls:

WASD - Move 
Mouse - Look around
Space - Start new time loop
E - Interact + Pickup/Drop Item
Left Mouse - Fire weapon
Hold R - Restart level
Esc - Quit game

Rules:

* Every level has a fixed amount of time before it loops back
* Once the level loops, your previous attempts of the level will play back as ghosts, up to 5 ghosts. Coordinate with the ghosts to finish the level!
* Use spacebar to end a loop early
* Being hit by an apparition kills you and your ghosts, restarting the level
* Items that exist outside of time are found in coloured containment fields
* Find and interact with the containment pedestal the finish the level

Tips:

* Dropping items requires looking at a flat surface
* An apparition can't kill you if you end your loop first!
* Made a mistake? Hold down R to completely reset the level
