About this game

In Essence of Time, you are thrust into a school of elemental magic at a critical moment in history; it is time to choose a new emperor. As is tradition, the emperor will be chosen from the students. However, when controversy surrounds the winner, civil unrest grows into outright war.

Fortunately, you have access to the essence of time! By repeating those fateful last days at the academy, you can try to change who becomes emperor and prevent war from breaking out.

Essence of Time mixes turn-based RPGs and visual novel storytelling with time-travel puzzle solving. As you explore various timelines, you will experiment with your sphere grid, make new friends, wage combat against deadly foes, and unravel the many mysteries held within the hearts and minds of all who cross your path.
