I Used My Time Traveller Powers to Cuckold Myself plunges players into a dystopian 20XX where vaccines grant superpowers—and unleash existential chaos. As a time-traveler haunted by envy of your past self, navigate paradoxes, sabotage your own legacy, and confront a moral abyss: Is self-destruction the price of rewriting fate?
Time-Bending Paradoxes
1. Past Interference: Mentor your younger self to wealth and love, but watch bitterness grow as their success eclipses your own.
2. Ripple Effects: Alter minor events (e.g., vaccine access) to reshape global power hierarchies—accidentally creating supervillains.
3. Paradox Survival: Manage "time decay" as reality fractures; too many changes trigger chaotic mergers of alternate timelines.
Moral Descent & Power Corruption
1. Self-Sabotage: Poison past relationships to reclaim relevance, blurring the line between protector and antagonist.
2. Superpower Monopolies: Collude with pharma giants to hoard ability-boosting boosters, exploiting the unpowered underclass.
3. Ethical Erosion: Rationalize war crimes committed across timelines—"They’re not my reality’s civilians, right?"
Dystopian Worldbuilding
1. Vaccine Castes: Society splits into Enhanced (superpowered elites) and Fringers (unvaccinated outlaws), sparking guerrilla wars.
2. Ability Markets: Trade temporary power transfers on the black market, risking addiction or genetic collapse.
3. Government Conspiracies: Uncover why the vaccine’s "bonus" powers were no accident—and who truly engineered the virus.
Gameplay Mechanics
A fusion of narrative-driven choices and rogue-like time jumps creates relentless tension.
1. Time Echo System: Revisit pivotal moments with new variables—save a lover in one loop, only to doom them in another.
2. Power Synergy: Combine time manipulation with stolen abilities (telekinesis, precognition) for unconventional problem-solving.
3. Narcissism Meter: Track your obsession via in-game hallucinations; too high, and past/future selves merge catastrophically.
Visual & Audio Design
A glitch-punk aesthetic mirrors the protagonist’s fractured psyche, blending cybernetic interfaces with decaying retro-futurism.
1. Chronal Art Style: Environments degrade or regenerate based on timeline stability—pristine skyscrapers crumble into pixelated voids.
2. Distorted Soundscapes: Voices from alternate realities overlap during key decisions, muddying clarity.
3. Meta Commentary: Achievements like "Schrödinger’s Narcissist" mock players who prioritize self-interest over narrative cohesion.
