SiTAS: Somewhere in time and space (AppID: 2954930)

Before the introduction begins...

Just a heads-up — this is a story that takes time to get into.

There’s a lot going on in the story, with many characters appearing throughout, so the setup is quite long. It’ll take about five hours before the plot truly starts to unfold. You’ll need to get through a somewhat chaotic and dull first chapter, which lasts about an hour. Once you get used to that sense of confusion, the story will gradually become more and more engaging over the next dozen hours or so.

The story will feel confusing all the way until you reach the ending — and that’s completely normal. That confusion will transform into a new and clear understanding once you reach the final destination. If you can stick through the first chapter and start to find the story interesting, then the ending is sure to surprise you!

The demo is around four hours long. If you’re not totally uninterested after starting the game, please try to get through the first chapter. (Chapters aren’t clearly marked in-game, but when you finish the first chapter, you’ll definitely feel it. It takes a little over an hour.)

Because the story is so confusing, it’s hard to give a straightforward summary — so here’s just a brief introduction.

(No English Demo just yet >_<)

This is a sci-fi text game built around conversations.

You’ll follow a group of researchers trying to survive on an alien planet. With your ability to move back and forth in time, you’ll collect topics, trigger conversations, get to know different teammates, and try to stop them from falling into an unknown abyss.

Intertwined timelines, reversed causality... Why can you travel through time? And how will you use that to recover your lost past and save this cheerful yet secretly troubled group of companions?

Go fishing, play cards, chat — and maybe save the world while you’re at it!
