Steam reviews

What players say

Players who love time travel and Back to the Future-style ideas mostly recommend it, but bugs, clunky controls and an unfinished early access state are the main drawbacks.

Many players praise the core time travel idea: an open world that changes across eras, past versions of yourself you can meet, and mechanics that let your actions reshape the future. Reviewers describe a lot of content, secrets, references to other time travel media, and a developer who keeps adding features and listens to the community. Many complaints centre on bugs, crashes, freezes and getting stuck in terrain, along with inventory handling and controls that feel needlessly complicated. Some players also find the low-poly graphics off-putting and point to unclear tutorials and missing controller support. Several reviewers warn that the game should wait until it leaves early access, but others already treat it as a long-term favourite.

Praised

  • Back to the Future feel

    Players enjoy the time travel premise, with past selves, paradoxes and changes across eras that echo the film trilogy.

    Many players
  • Open world and freedom

    Reviewers highlight the open map across eras, side quests, and the freedom to experiment with time and mess around.

    Many players
  • Content and secrets

    Players mention the amount of content, hidden secrets, easter eggs and references to other media.

    Many players
  • Developer support

    Players praise the solo developer for frequent updates, community listening and visible improvements over time.

    Many players

Criticised

  • Bugs and crashes

    Reviewers report freezes, crashes, glitches and game-breaking bugs that interrupt progress.

    Many players
  • Clunky controls and inventory

    Reviewers complain about needlessly complicated controls, a poor inventory system and missing controller support.

    Some players
  • Low-poly graphics

    Players find the simple low-poly look unappealing or janky, though others find it charming.

    Some players
  • Unclear tutorial and quests

    Reviewers say instructions are missing or unclear, and quests or NPC states can break.

    Some players
Who it suits
Suited to fans of time travel stories, Back to the Future and open-world sandbox games who accept early access roughness.
Who should skip it
Skip it if you need a polished, stable game or dislike the low-poly look and fiddly controls.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with well over a hundred hours recommend it at the same rate as newer players, but the long-time reviews focus more on the expanding content and the developer's ongoing work than on bugs.
