Temporal Investigation
Temporal Investigation is a narrative-focussed experience made with Unreal Engine 5. Players have several interaction methods to explore an interior environment. They can discover clues that reveal key events of the game's story. Many objects exist only during specific sections of the global timeline. Players need to advance and reverse time in order to gain access to certain objects and areas. This time-bending mechanic is called "Temporal Displacement". The game features an original soundtrack and utilizes interactive audio to provide rich and destinctive sounds during gameplay and for user interfaces.
