Explore & build your way home in this time-bending production puzzler.
You're not really sure what your job is, and no one is interested in telling you.
Newly-demoted in an obscure department, you start with nothing. As you explore & connect islands claimed by the company, you'll build a growing production network, manage & multiply your workforce, and overcome intricate performance review puzzles to rise back up the corporate ladder.
Your employer has unlimited resources and an iron-clad grip on the passage of time, and a perpetual contract has left you stuck working in the same time loop for decades. As you gain authority and trust, however, you'll be armed with the ability to manipulate time yourself. If you can exploit a loophole in Company Time, you'll finally be able to escape -- or stop any of this from ever happening.
Build
Each island under your control is unique, with its own climate, resources, and time. Connect islands to change the flow of time and build in 3D using the tools you discover along the way.
Solve
Performance Review is the only way up in the company. Solve intricate island puzzles to prove your skills to your employer and gain promotions. As the cracks begin to form, unravel an even larger mystery and discover what your company is up to.
Command
All of this sound like a lot of work? Don't worry -- you'll have plenty of help.
Your tireless and good-spirited workforce can operate machinery, move resources, and build items you discover. Guide your workers across a growing network of islands, discover new worker types with special abilities, and duplicate workers to expand what you can do.
