You play as Time, who can move through the timeline and is trying to reach Space, a lonely figure whose tears create stars. Their relationship anchors a short, romantic story set among personified cosmic forces.
Move forward or backward through events, or warp to saved moments to revisit earlier choices. The timeline controls are part of the story: changing what Time does can alter how events unfold.
Choices lead to three main endings, with replaying moments letting you explore different outcomes. The release also includes a photo studio and a bonus gallery with developer commentary.
Players often describe this as a brief, tender and emotional visual novel, praising its romance between cosmic characters and the way rewinding time connects the gameplay to the story. Art and music are recurring highlights. Some players wish the story were longer or had more room to develop its characters and themes.
