Time Loader
Review

Time Loader (2021) is a rolling, climbing, jumping robot puzzle game where you have travelled back in time to prevent a tragic accident. With a Back To The Future 90s vibe, you control a rover-style robot and use various tools and features to navigate the furniture and consumer electronics of home environments. Real physics and brain teasing puzzles combine with an unusual story to create a unique and highly polished experience.

Play involves exploring the house of your creator to acquire unique and powerful upgrades. You need to use the everyday objects you find to help you progress. Hang from light pulls, climb stacks of records, use boosters, harpoons and screwdrivers to improve your abilities.

As you progress your choices and performance affect a dynamic branching story. Your aim is to change the past by destroying a car that caused an accident, but how you do this is up to you. Every choice you make will influence the story and may lead to a different outcome.
