As the world?s only hope, you must fight your way across the city to the time portal, go back in time and neutralize the cultists? plan before they change the course of history. If only it was that easy. Time is definitely not on your side.
Players take on the role of Travis Ryer, a time travel safari guide who is tasked with stopping ?Global Entropy? from changing the world as we know it.
