Fortold by MrTroy
Once every 5 years someone must throw themselves into the Time Fire to appease the Time God. Guess who's turn it is this time! Well, you might not have to, if you can get enough time cubes to warp yourself out of there and let it be someone else's turn for a change. Don't want to leave someone else out on all the fun.


Developer's note. I know no one reads these things but... I ran out of time due to PC issues, so 90% of the story isn't in the game at the time of this writing. I may be able to get time to try and update things later, but the compo version isn't having it.
Additional notes. I hope you read this. The votes are only for the Jam version. I've been noodling around with adding additional content, and wanted to give you all a post Jam version. If the title screen says "Relaxed" then you're playing the version you shouldn't vote on. ;)
That being said I had a lot of fun making this game after the computer disasters over the Ludum Dare weekend. I tried to make a very very lite version of AI for this game, but there isn't really any balance. I hope you enjoy it!

Very fun overall , had a pacman feeling in it and would love to see more of this game!
congrats !
After pressing "Run game" in itch.io nothing happened.
Idea is great i hope you will someday polish this concept :)
Looks like a great setup for an interesting storyline :D Developer's note read - hoping for updates :)
I really liked visuals!
That being said, this is super super cute and I can definitely see that greatness was the direction you were headed!
Well done with what you were given. :D
I'm sorry you didn't get as far as you wanted, but I think the concept is really good and I liked the sort of stealth-ish gameplay it seemed like you were leaning towards.
Thanks for reviewing and commenting on The Apocawiz. Sorry it took me a bit to respond!
