The Library Of Time : Shattered Present
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
You awaken in a village reduced to ashes.
No name, no past — only silence.
Drawn by whispers from a forgotten place, you discover the Library of Time:
a realm beyond the world, filled with endless books… and a machine at its heart.
The books do not change the past — they reveal the rules of creation.
But the Machine, fueled by artifacts hidden deep within ancient temples, can bend the flow of time itself.
Guided by the enigmatic Witch of the Broken Clock, you descend into ruins, seeking fragments of power.
Yet every step forward twists the present a little more.
What will you restore?
What will you destroy?
And when the final page is turned… whose story will remain?
The Library of time will be a trilogy of RPG Maker games, each one centered around a period. The first game, as you probably already guessed, is centered around the present. The hero discovers a Library that containts a machines room capable of bending time and will use it to try to save the world, but he will also discovers the consequences of playing with Time...
The game is a narrative-oriented exploration game. You can play it without exploring much, but then you would miss a lot of lore and bonuses.
Currently, there are three different ways to play, three different paths. You can become the strongest warrior ever by following the path of Power, guided by Bel, the goddess of war, or maybe you want to help everyone and become a reliable shield with the path of Durability guided by Daryelle, the goddess of Defense. Or maybe you are greedy and want a lot of gold and good equipments. In that case, the path of Items is made for you ! Guided by Luciana, the goddess of Wealth, become the richest man of the world !
Speaking of playtime, only I, the developer, have tested the game, and it took me about an hour. But given the fact that, obviously, I know the puzzles and fastest ways to finish the demo, it'll be longer for a player who doesn't know the game so i'd say about 1h30 - 2h to beat the demo.
This is only an alpha demo of the game. It only features the starting village and the first dungeon, but i'm actively working on the game and adding new content.
The next update will probably add the first city and more Lore.
I plan to add two other small dungeons like the Beginners Forest (the first dungeon) before making the Library. Just be patient !
About the screenshots... Well i don't have many since there is only two areas for now...
