Hello
I know that some of you know me for quite some time already, some don't, so I am addressing this message for everyone, so feel free to spread it.

I have always wanted to create a GAME, you know, something you can be proud of, something unique that could be remembered.
Spending a lot of time choosing right setting and concept, I wanted to combine puzzles, and good storytelling.
Testing and creating puzzles, I have invented a neat concept of puzzle, that is based on literally time travel.
So your clock becomes a key - to solve puzzles, I have tested created numerous concepts and puzzles how you can use to create interesting puzzles, that can be both easy and entertaining and mindbogglingly hard.
A lot of time I have devoted for the story, designing characters and their intentions, moods, and interactions with player - so it won't be just another puzzle game without a story.
As for visuals - at first, my design was be solely text based game, but after few concept demos and mock-ups, I have decided to use pre-rendered 3D Fractals for videos and backgrounds. And I don't use them - 'just as a placeholder' I create animate and guide them, to be visually comparable with things going on in game as - databases, gates, cluster and other visual representations of abstract things you can't see as objects - but as code only.

Who doesn't want to change their PC clock, there will be an alternative direct in-game input mode, that is less immerse, but not in any other way less than standard.

I was slowly making my game, hoping to make a Greenlight page later this year, when I had more levels and story to show, but unfortunately due to Greenlight closing I have done it now. I have very small chances of passing Greenlight, due to the lack of things to show, because I was creating story, script, puzzles and rendering and adjusting visuals. I know how hard it is now, to pass Greenlight my friend still can't even pass it despite having made great games previously, so...

I am telling you this right now - I am betting my reputation on steam and steamgifts:

I PROMISE Provide good story with interesting plot-twists, and characters you will care for.
I PROMISE that all dialogs voiced, to understand feelings and mood of the characters.
I PROMISE to create interesting and not repetitive puzzles.
I PROMISE to make quality product without typos, graphical glitches, and other unpleasant things
I PROMISE to rely on community trust, and not deleting any negative comments and criticism
I will NOT make horrible product just to bank on cards
I will NOT use any asset flips or unlicensed materials
I will NOT release game and imminently bundle it, to sell for 10 cents or free
I will NOT use any boosting groups
So please trust me, and give me chance

I will create giveaways promoting this event, thanking you for your time, and for trusting me.
I will soon update Greenlight page with better description, trailer, and screenshots.
