🌀 Game Overview

Time Guardians™ is a first-person, sci-fi action adventure where players travel across centuries to prevent reality-warping anomalies caused by rogue Time Cells. Recruited by none other than Stephen Hawking (yes, really), you become a Time Guardian—armed with cutting-edge weaponry, time-bending powers, and the heavy burden of protecting history itself.

Explore ancient ruins, modern warzones, and dystopian futures in a narrative-rich, choice-driven world where every action ripples across time.
