Overview
Description

Braid is a painterly puzzle‑platformer where each of its six worlds grants a unique time‑control ability, from rewinding to objects immune to time. The player guides Tim through intricate levels, using these mechanics to uncover a cryptic story about desire, forgiveness, and the nature of reality. The game challenges players to think backwards and forwards, offering a minimalist experience without filler. Its ambiguous narrative and thoughtful design have earned critical acclaim and lasting discussion among gamers and critics alike.

Project Temporality is a third‑person action‑puzzle adventure that lets you control the fourth dimension. Using Defrost Games’ proprietary Sparta 3D engine, you can rewind, fast‑forward, and branch timelines at any moment to overcome obstacles. Explore a sci‑fi world filled with lasers, mirrors, force fields, and hidden platforms while uncovering the stories of its inhabitants. The game offers single‑player freedom to experiment with time‑based mechanics and solve intricate puzzles.
