07/27/24, 0 comments

You want to prove you invented time travel, but someone already claimed that title. You'll need to travel through the past, present, and future, and try to erase your rival from history before they erase you to get the title. Travel through the timeline and eliminate your targets!

Time Travel

Time travel is a fascinating subject. Who never once wished to travel back in time and meet someone again, or fix/avoid something, or go to the future and see how we all turn out? Yeah, some people say this is already possible.

But what really is time travel? To put it simply, time travel is the ability to move from two different points in time (past or future). The first person to write about this theme was H. G. Wells, in his book, "The Time Machine", which was adapted as a movie two times:

See some gameplay:

That Time You Killed Me is an excellent teaching tool, much because it provides the same benefits as chess, most notably focus, planning, and decision-making. Besides, obviously, spacial awareness, and, in this case, even time awareness, as you'll have to control 3 boards simultaneously.

I'll stress that, like chess, still, That Time You Killed Me is complex and relies heavily on brain power. Playing it encourages your math skills and critical thinking, besides, of course, creativity. You'll need all of these skills to finish the game.

You'll also need a lot of focus; taking care of one board is already hard enough, so imagine three. Furthermore, be careful with your planning and decision-making, as they're crucial to have any success in this game.

All of this is a great workout for your brain. You'll need all of these skills throughout your life, so, the earlier you learn them the better. You'll work on your math skills as you manage your copies throughout the entire game, and use your critical thinking when you decide when and how to use them. Then, you'll obviously use all your creativity to take all actions as optimally as possible.

That Time You Killed Me is a great game! It demands a lot of focus, strategy, and decision-making!

I strongly recommend That Time You Killed Me for your collection!
