A time travel adventure spanning two hundred years! Dive into the past with time agent Fia Quinn as she embarks on seven trips through time. History is up for grabs, from the speakeasies of Prohibition to the vicious gangs of the Gilded Age to the World Trade Center on September 10, 2001.

Runs well on modern hardware.

Absolutely loved it. The game flowed naturally, and I didn't really get stuck much either (quite the compliment for a point-and-click adventure :'D), and also the music was quite to my tastes too. The characters, narration, and themes were quite captivating and natural, and I really liked the whole time travel keeper concept as such. I'll have to replay it again to get the remaining achievements sometime. Sigh... maybe One Day™ I could become a ChronoZen agent too.
This is a lot closer to a visual novel than to the point and clicks of old. I didn't get into the story - YMMV.
Basics are OK: good graphics, great voice acting, music. The gameplay mechanics are not my favourite - lot of running back and forth to talk with the same people to move the plot forward - sometimes more annoying, than interesting and not many real, classical adventure game puzzles to solve. But the great thing is that it has a good story, and considering all the complexity of time travel and alternative timelines, it felt consistent and well thought-through. Not only the main characters were interesting enough and likeable to care about them, this is true even for some of the side characters who just showed up in one episode or another. This is a great example where a game is probably the best medium to tell a story.
