Temporal

Temporal is a short narrative game about a rainy afternoon, a golden retriever named Marley, and the day the river broke its banks.

It starts as an ordinary walk in the park: buy an umbrella, throw the ball, pick up after your dog, grab a hot dog. Then the radio changes tone. The rain gets heavier. The streets fill with water, and a single thunderclap is all it takes for Marley to slip his leash and run.

Find him. Follow his paw prints, ask the neighbors what they saw, call his name and listen for his bark. Pull strangers out of the current, ride whatever floats, and get both of you to high ground before the water takes the city.

• A complete story in about 10 minutes
• Rising water that changes the whole neighborhood as you play
• A dog who reacts to you: fetch, petting, barking back when you call
• Several endings depending on how you treat Marley and the people you meet
• Original soundtrack, voiced radio and rescuers
• Play in English or Spanish (Options → Language)
• Keyboard or touch (play phones in landscape)
