Every step is a moment that brings essence. Once players collide essence flows to that one who has more. Essence is everything. To freeze a maze of time someone needs to get out.

Interesting game. Wonderful music. But perhaps my brain is not ready for this.... enigma

It’s a really interesting experiment. Well done! I liked how the game is deceptively simple. I liked the story too and the looks, as a minimalist fan. I hope to see more of you and your story.

While I liked style, ambience and magnificent soundtrack, it was pretty hard to figure out what to do.

very interesting! It's a very cool idea having a mystery to figure out for the player to progress. I'm pretty sure that there are some more hidden details that I missed. nice job!

Strange game. Does it really work or is it broken? An enigma to resolve for the future.

I assume this is a multiplayer game based on the description. I tried playing the game for several minutes. What I loved most was the mysterious and enigmatic nature of the visuals and text. Would love to see a walkthru video if possible!

I have no idea whats going on, but I am intrigued. I didn't get far in this or the game you posted in the comments, but I assume they're related? Looks very cool, but I'm not good at this ARG type stuff.

My mind was blown, sir. And the game hasn't even started yet. Maybe there was no game. Maybe the real game is the friend we made along the way.

Time Paradox

In Time Paradox,  the primary objective of the game is for players to navigate a complex, ever-changing maze of time branches by creating and resolving time paradoxes. Players must use their strategic thinking and puzzle-solving skills to manipulate the past, present, and future, altering the maze layout to progress through the layers of the dodecahedron. The ultimate goal is to reach the final layer and uncover the mysteries of the enigmatic mathematical language that forms the basis of the game's universe.

In Time Paradox, when two players meet in the same location within the maze but at different points in time, a time paradox is created. This event can trigger various effects on the game world and the players involved, providing interesting gameplay opportunities and challenges.

Time Paradoxes:

  1. Puzzle Challenges: When a time paradox occurs, players may be faced with a unique puzzle that must be solved to resolve the paradox. These puzzles could involve both players working together or competing against each other to reach a solution.
  2. Temporary Abilities: Upon creating a time paradox, players might gain temporary abilities, such as increased speed, the power to phase through walls, or limited control over the maze's layout. These abilities can be used strategically to gain an advantage or hinder the other player.
  3. Maze Alterations: The occurrence of a time paradox could cause changes in the maze layout, opening new pathways or closing existing ones. Players must quickly adapt to these changes and determine the best course of action to progress or outmaneuver their opponent.
  4. Time Loop Scenarios: When a time paradox is created, players might find themselves trapped in a time loop. They must work together or individually to break the loop by performing specific actions or solving a puzzle.
  5. Time Paradox Resolution: Players can earn points or rewards for resolving time paradoxes, encouraging them to seek out these encounters and utilize their puzzle-solving and strategic thinking skills to overcome the challenges they present.

When two players meet in Time Paradox,  the essence of one player can flow to the one who has more essence, symbolizing the dominance of one player's timeline over the other's. This could create interesting dynamics between players and provide opportunities for various gameplay mechanics
