A Jam about time

In its shortest description: Time traveling roguelite top-down looter shooter with branching timelines. Gunfire combat with near insta-death PvE, but with player precognition.

Beacon system: place a beacon to go backwards in time to the moment it was placed

Two options: Move your body backwards, this splits the timeline and adds instability

Move your mind backwards, this doesn’t split and doesn’t add instability: akin to savescumming

Placing beacons, or pulsing spends fuel.

Killing enemies rolls for loot (retroactively)

You have a primary (blue), secondary (orange), passive (two green symbols) and a fuel spender (up to 2 purple symbols). You find as you defeat enemies (kind of an arena looter-shooter) and the purple fuel that's dropped from specific enemies allows you to time travel or manipulate the battlefield (slow down local time, speed it up, precognition and timeline splits)

Artstyle:

Time Travel

To avoid paradoxes, every time you create a copy of yourself, you must split the timeline. Any action, on your past self will not affect you since they are an alternate COPY of yourself. Precognition, or warping your mind, does not split (gameplay wise, a savescum)

Story

You start locked a room, a few moments later, a frame like you with a smaller identifier warps in your room. You kill them and gain the key to exit as well as your base loadout. After defeating the waves of enemy, a final door opens with a fuel spending device. If you use it, you are warped back to the start and instantly killed. Camera pans to the killer and another playthrough starts
