I soloed through the new T.I.M.E. Stories scenario in 4 runs on Saturday 12/24. Here are my thoughts all spoilered away: First of all, good thing they added the Mature Audiences tag. Graphic Violence and swearing all over the place. This mission seems completely based off of the whole Charles Manson crime in which his gang murdered actress Sharon Tate and others. You atart in 1982 and explore the mansion where the crimes happened in 1969. Once you activate a séance, you go back to 1969 right before the murders start. The jump from 1982 to 1969 was really cool. You essentially are playing 2 games. You pick new vessels, have a new Plan, everything. You see younger versions if characters from the 1982 mansion. Neat stuff. However, the scenario is not without problems. One, there is absolutely no puzzles to be solved anywhere. Unless you count how to visit the fewest Locations as a puzzle. I don't. It's all about the combat (or how to avoid the combat) and the theme. So, if you like your TS with puzzles, stay away from this one. Also, there is no moving along the overall story arc that T.I.M.E Stories has been pushing through the first scenarios. No getting a cool box to hold onto, no QR codes to scan and read extra material. This is really a very standalone set. Lastly, and I am feeling this way for the game in general, is that the whole Groundhog day thing is getting a little tiresome. Spending 20-30 minutes of real time to find out that what you just did was a dead end sort of sucks. Yes, you know for the next run, but it still sucks. This module has many of those dead end moments. Be prepared. So, sort of wishy-washy on this one. I liked the theming a lot as it is really well written. But overall, this would be my least favorite of the scenarios by a wide margin.

Urrrg! This one started off promising. Went one way, then another. We were surprised, we were engaged, but the ball is dropped in the second half by an underwhelming finale, confusing mechanisms....and god so many "lost in translation" typos. T.I.M.E. Stories needs to return to form to keep me playing!
