The Story

It was the last years of the 19th Century, over three since you last heard from your friend, the Time Traveler, when without warning, a mysterious parcel arrives in your small house in Whitechapel, London.

 

Little did you know that this was just the start of an extraordinary tale that would change everything you know, and take you on adventures across both time and space. 

 

You must battle the dastardly Morlocks as you fight to save the love of your life Rose, but be careful, not everything and everyone is as they seem.

Join us as you journey from the life of a struggling journalist to become a time-traveling hero.

The Arsenal

Ray Gun

The Ray Gun is no mere relic of the future; it is a masterpiece of Victorian ingenuity designed by Dr. Jekyll himself. While the world remembers him for his chemical concoctions, his work in chronal energy stabilization led to the creation of this iconic sidearm. It is a weapon that perfectly mirrors its creator: elegant in design, yet capable of unleashed, primal power.

Radar Device

Designed by the Time Traveller himself.  Indispensable for navigating treacherous terrain.
A high-intensity torch designed to pierce the pitch-black tunnels of the Morlock Underworld. 
An integrated compass leading you to your next objective.

 

SpaceShip/Submarine

Designed by Robur, the self proclaimed Master of the World.
More than a ship across space and time but also a submersible to navigate to other worlds under the sea.

The Characters

A high-contrast, sepia-toned photograph of an older man with a weathered face and a full, white beard. He gazes directly into the camera with a serious expression. He is wearing a dark, distressed leather flight helmet with vintage aviator goggles resting on his forehead. His large leather coat collar is popped up, featuring prominent metallic silver buttons. The lighting is dramatic, highlighting the textures of his skin and the worn leather, set against a solid dark background

THE TIME TRAVELLER:
To the world, he is the man who inspired a masterpiece of science fiction. To you, he is an old friend and a growing enigma. Stranded in the "far-past" and hunted by his own creations, the Time Traveller is a man of cold logic and desperate measures. He has seen the end of the world (literally) and will do whatever it takes to prevent the Morlocks from rewriting history. But as he pulls your strings from across the timeline, you have to wonder: is he saving the future, or just protecting his own legacy?

Henry: The Time Traveller's mysterious friend Henry who is  a master of "lethal engineering". While he assists the Time Traveller, the two share a mutual disdain; Henry finds the Traveller’s physics flighty, and the Traveller finds Henry’s research "unnatural." Sarcastic, brilliant, and deeply unpredictable, Henry provides the firepower you need to survive. He’s happy to upgrade your arsenal, but keep it between friends, he has his own secret experiments running in the London fog, and he needs your help to fuel them.

This landscape image features a mysterious male figure in the center, rendered almost entirely in shadow. He is dressed in Victorian-era attire, including a tall top hat, a high-collared coat, and a waistcoat with a visible pocket watch chain. He has a prominent, curved mustache. He stands in a cobblestone alley at night, surrounded by thick, swirling fog. The dark, brick buildings on either side create a claustrophobic feel, with a single dim gaslight glowing faintly in the distant background. The overall mood is tense, moody, and investigative
This is a square, sepia-toned studio portrait framed by a circular black vignette. It features a young woman with dark hair styled in an elegant updo. She wears a small, tilted black hat and has one hand, clad in a black fishnet glove, raised to the brim. Her expression is calm and enigmatic. She is dressed in a dark, high-collared Victorian garment with delicate lace trim at the neck and a white ruffled jabot visible at her chest. The lighting is soft but focused on her face, creating a classic, historical aesthetic.

ROSE: Every story needs a heart, and for you, that heart is Rose. As your fiancée, she represents everything worth fighting for in a London that is rapidly becoming a war zone. But in a game of temporal chess, the people you love are the first to be put at risk. The Time Traveller claims her safety is his priority, or are his reasons more nefarious?
