Key Features
•	Innovative Battle Planning:
- Craft detailed battle plan by scheduling actions, then watch it unfold.
- Execute your pre-planned strategy flawlessly after you submit the plan.
•	Time Travel Mechanics:
- Each battle allows you to travel back in time as many times as you can afford, enabling you to collaborate with past versions of yourself and form a multi-faceted squad of “selves.”
- Some character stats carry over from previous timelines, while certain physical items do not—adding a nuanced layer of strategy.
- Every moment on stage uses your life currency, Sand, and if you time travel, you experience the same battle multiple times and that would cost you more. Sand is also used for navigating the world outside combat. This resource management creates an rewarding optimization and balancing challenge.
•	Single-Player Only: Designed exclusively for solo play, offering an undistracted, immersive experience.
•	Evolving Strategic Depth: The current demo focuses on validating these unprecedented gameplay elements. Post-demo content will further expand the strategic options, deepening the tactical complexity.
•	Atmospheric Lovecraftian Theme: Explore a world of cosmic horror, unease, and mystery inspired by The King in Yellow.
