"To be or not to be.. I know that guy!"

Alex knows as much about Rene Descartes as he does about effective plague cures. But all Alex has to do is find Pierre Descartes, grandfather of the famous philosopher, mathematician, and not playwright, Rene, and Emit can handle the rest.
But how did the plague find Pierre? Why does history record Pierre as having succumbed to the Black Death and Rene never being born?
And how can Alex possibly hope to communicate with people of a different time and nation?

I haven't seen E.T. since I was a kid, but that and Gremlins were a big part of inspiration behind this episode. I can't explain why without giving away spoilers, but hopefully it will make sense as you play. Possibly.

Now that I'm older and becoming more creatively bankrupt with every passing year, I stole the idea to use rebus puzzles to represent people trying to communicate in different languages from a previous idea for a game about two lovers on the run.
The idea never left the prototype stage so it was nice for me to see it resurface in The Twilight of Infinity.

It's a new type of puzzle for the series and I realise that not everyone will enjoy or be naturally good at them so the solutions are stored in-game for those just wanting to follow the expanding story.

I hope you enjoy the episode. It will have big consequences for Episode 5 – The Disappearance of Amelia Earhart..

The third episode is now available!
When I discovered the story of a famous 15th century Lord forever imprisoned in an eternal game of cards with the Devil I knew I wanted to make an episode based on it. I'm still discovering what makes for for a good puzzle and the challenge for this game was; how do you create video game puzzles based around playing card games?
The end result is a series of puzzles that require the player to think about how they can use time travel to manipulate the environment and stack the odds in their own favour. To convince the Lord of Glamis that you are the devil and have unearthly powers, you have be able to win every time.

With the third episode I wanted to further improve my use of music. This episode easily has my favourite soundtrack so far - featuring lots of creepy, sinister orchestral and organ music that helps set the high stakes tone of the story.

I hope you enjoy playing cards with Lord Glamis for all eternity and always remember, time isn't what you think it is!
