TimeMelters

Magnificent from a graphical point of view, this game imposes an ingenious strategy, namely manipulating time, to allow a witch condemned to the stake in the XVe century, Teagan MacPhee, to fight the monsters that invaded his country, Hogendale. It duplicates itself, has spells that must be recharged, magic portals to teleport, on a hypnotizing musical background. Surely one of the most successful Quebec independent games of recent years, recently crowned big winner of the Ubisoft Indie Series, and public choice and technological innovation at MEGAMIGS 2021.
