Gameplay
Exploration
At certain points of the game, the player can activate the Time Mechanic while exploring the environment. The screen is separated into three different sections, revealing the past, present, and future. The player will have the ability to interact with different periods and collect information, or gather items that don’t exist in the present.
Combat
The party engages in strategic turn-based combat with enemies using both physical and magical attacks. Certain actions are time-based, in which pushing the action button at the correct time will result in extra damage to an attack, or more armor for defense. Status effects can also be resisted during defense.
In a battle, every party member has HP & MP; when a party member loses all of their HP, that member is automatically knocked out of the battle. Crisbell is unique as she also has CP, which are used to activate her Time powers. Each party member can perform a standard physical attack, summon a magical attack, defend, or use a recovery or battle item.
The Time Mechanic plays a role in combat, either by making the enemy weaker or stronger. Status ailments can be inflicted and manipulated by the Time Mechanic. For example, players can poison an enemy and then advance time to let the effect take place all in one turn. If the enemy is at a certain age, sending them in the past or future will result in a Temporal Limit, damaging them.
Certain enemies or Bosses will have ways to deal with the Time Mechanics by moving to the opposite side of the party or by using an ability.
