Temporal Thief

Temporal Thief is a moody ChoiceScript piece where you play as a time-traveller (or well, a time-thief), trying to change fate (their fate). With a dark modern fantasy setting, the prose really embodies the atmosphere of those gloomy back street, where nothing good ever happens. As to whether you do change things, only rewinds will tell…

Jacic is a well-known (to me) choicescript author that has done some cool mythological games in the past.

This pair of games has a similar high concept and some complex, interesting writing, but fails to due either of those justice in its short time frame. Each half-game is just a few choices; the second one is actually just a single choice.

The concept is fun, though. You are an unnatural being, and you don't know if you'll live to see the next day. Walking the streets of a city, you have a dangerous encounter that makes your powers known.

Fun idea, nice writing, but it felt like it could be more.
