This review is for the first completable version, in contrast to the original competition version which could not be completed. Still, it was made during the Iron Chief competition where games are made in a very short time frame. So the version I played (1st of June acc. to the file name) could use a bit more pollish but the puzzles did not really suffer from this.
The player is given the job of cleaning up in several time zones where animals and persons have somehow been displaced in time and space. For that reason you have a special device. I will try not to give anymore spoilers here, except within spoiler tags.
The writing is short but still interesting. Objects you encounter has no use, so simply focus on the task. I was curious to see how the device was going to work in this completable version. This is the sort of game where things are usually a little more complicated than expected which is nice so it wasn't too straight forward. So figuring out exactly how the device works and what can be done with it is the big puzzle. However, it might be that the game can be solved in a bit more boring way, though the author seems to have been preventing that at least partly:
(Spoiler - click to show)It turns out that you can swap places with "me"(the player). However, the device seems to run out of energy if you keep doing that so you have to swap between two other persons in order to gain energy - at least that is my impression of how the device works. So it is definitely more fun to swap other persons with each other than constantly swap using yourself. It also took a little while before I realized that the activate command does not work in locations where animates are present.Overall, a very satisfying puzzle game!
