I really, really like this concept and would love to see a sequel or even the same idea used in an alternate universe or timeline. Time shifts are a beloved mechanic for me for sure. I got all the achievements in 3 hours so I'm not sure I'd pay the full $10 for it, but I got it in a bundle. If you can get it for under $5 it's definitely worth playing. The teddy is horrifying. I loved it.

Interesting premise with a neat core mechanic (though not especially deep, it's used to overcome fairly simple environmental puzzles and that's it) with a way too wordy and philosophical narrative (and particularly good) and an utterly stupid ending. Fun game for a few hours, just don't expect much from it.
