Description

A remake of his 6th-place finalist from the 2001 IF Competition, Simon Mark has stripped away Vicious Cycles' Z-code text parser and replaced it with a pure hyperfiction interface. The core story around which the gameplay revolves, of a time traveler revisiting a past historical event and dying, over and over again, trying to learn enough about the situation to alter the outcome of an historical terroristic tragedy, remains the same in this remake. The framing story has been substantially altered.
