As CEO of Chronos Biotech, your life ends in betrayal—poisoned by your brother during a corporate coup. But death is not your finale. Lina, a brilliant doctoral candidate who secretly admired you, hijacks an experimental time serum to revive you in the past. Now, as a freshman at Qingming Academy, you relive 2012 with a mission: unmask the conspiracy behind your murder and prevent Chronos Biotech’s corruption. But the timeline is unstable. Your presence awakens Echoes—ghostly remnants of your past life—and attracts enigmatic women tied to Lina’s serum. Will you rewrite destiny, or become ensnared in a paradox where love and vengeance collide?
Gameplay
1. Temporal Alchemy – Craft serums using campus resources (lab chemicals, rare herbs) to manipulate time: redo failed exams, revisit conversations for alternate outcomes, or glimpse future betrayals. Overuse fractures reality, spawning hostile Echoes.
2. Faction Dynamics – Bond with factions: the Bioethics Club (altruistic healers), Neon Syndicate (black-market hustlers), or Lina’s Circle (time-meddling scholars). Each offers unique perks but demands morally gray sacrifices.
3. Memory Fragments – Collect scattered Echoes to piece together your past life’s secrets. Reconstruct critical events in a mind-palace mini-game to unlock dialogue options that alter relationships and plot branches.
Key Features
1. Karmic Timelines – Choices ripple across timelines: save a classmate from expulsion, and they may become a loyal ally or jealous rival in alternate realities.
2. Serum Synthesis Lab – Develop biotech in secret labs, balancing ethical dilemmas. Create a memory-enhancing drug to ace exams, but risk addicting peers or triggering Echoes.
3. Veiled Agendas – Romance characters with hidden ties to Chronos Biotech: a professor testing the serum on students, a journalist investigating your brother, or Lina herself—whose motives grow suspicious.
Pro Tips
1. The 3-Day Reset – Use serums every three in-game days to avoid Echo detection; exceeding this draws them to sabotage your progress.
2. Syndicate Barter – Trade exam answers with the Neon Syndicate for blackmail intel on faculty, but never haggle—lowballing triggers vendettas.
3. Echo Baiting – Lure Echoes into campus events (e.g., lectures, parties) where crowds dilute their power, letting you harvest their fragments safely.
