TIMEY 2 WIMEY FULL

Make no mistake, Time Loader is decidedly charming, mostly because the Loader itself is adorable. I may or may not have owned the same mouse the Loader passes in Adam’s bedroom, and there are some pretty great pop culture references to be found, adding to the game’s overall charm.

The environment is well-realized and full of nostalgia notes. Most of the time, the solutions for these puzzles will be pretty clear, and short of a sequence involving a cat, the game allows you to take your time working through the mechanism of achieving the puzzle solution. Seriously, there’s clutter everywhere, which works out well for our intrepid Loader. Time Loader is very much a puzzle platformer, and those puzzles take the form of navigating the adorable Loader across what is possibly the messiest house in existence. All that changes is which version of the ending (of which there are four) you secure by your actions in that final act. The game plays a bit with this concept, but ultimately, by the time you reach the final act, you know roughly where it’s going to go. The loader’s initial mission is to destroy the red car on which the narrator slipped, causing his fall from the treehouse, but time being all “timey-wimey,” altering one cause leads to another emerging. Recognizing the impracticality of sending himself back to 1995, the narrator crafts the Loader, an AI driven robot equipped with a screen that doubles as its face, four poorly attached wheels, and a grab arm that works when it chooses to function, more on that later. Our intrepid narrator wants to create time travel in order to reverse the chain of events that led him to become paralyzed so that he may avoid becoming wheelchair bound. Remember the boy who fell out of the tree? He apparently spends the next years of his life studying to become a scientist, specializing in quantum mechanics and physics. Still, the game’s ambitious premise merits a playthrough. Time Loader attempts to solve the grandfather paradox and tries to do some interesting things along the way but is largely hampered by the slow gameplay and uneven puzzle design. The game opened rather darkly with the narrator, Adam, relating the story of how he fell out of a tree house and came to be paralyzed, and while I was somewhat grateful that I wasn’t THAT much older than the narrator, again, I still wasn’t suspecting the game to be as dark as it was, especially considering the juxtaposition of that darkness with the objective cuteness of the time loader itself. I can’t wait for next week’s chapter.When I started Time Loader, I must admit that I very much did not anticipate what I was going to get. Well played, Ziggy.įor now, though, let’s just think about how the manga’s finally getting good again. Doing that could erase all of those people from existence, which could in turn erase them from existence. It’s a deterrent against the plan to summon a Chronophage. Trolling aside, though, there is merit to why Ziggy did this.

On the other, Weisz won’t reunite with his dead Mother. On the one hand, it means that Homura’s mom died like we thought she would.

Which means Ziggy just collected their bodies for the sole purpose of trolling the heroes.

So instead, let’s focus on the more immediate stuff. It’s all timey-wimey and hard to wrap my head around.

Thus, I had a hard time understanding what Ziggy meant or what that flash forward was about. The last time that came up was at the end of Chapter 4, well before I started covering Edens Zero. I completely forgot about that flash-forward to 20,000 years in the future. Source-Kodansha Comics, MangaFreak Review
