The game is impressive in length with the main story lasting anywhere from six to eight hours depending on how much you explore Edwards Island. Once suck in these loops subtle background changes will alert the player to the dangerous situation that has suddenly been forced upon the group. Alex and her friends find themselves frequently lost in time loops. Alex is a wonderful character and even on a 2D scale you can imagine her facial expression as she is pulled into this ghostly adventure. Real panic, hesitation and wonder is conveyed by all of the superb voice actors.

This hugely varied dialogue wheel allows for re-playability meaning that the pull of a new game plus is enticing. As well as intense and eerie gameplay within the chapters the player can chose from three options of dialogue, allowing Alex as a character to be formed by the person playing the game. The action is well paced with chapters of the game neatly separated into hourly intervals. Edwards island is diverse, and you’ll find yourself marvelling at the beautiful, water colour wash art style of the game as your traverse the landscape. Time loops alter the gameplay immensely and every second of the game feels like it could be a fake out, meaning that you’ll always be uncertain of what exactly is going on. The plot quickly turns it’s focus from teen angst to a scenario which is completely unpredictable and consistently frightening. The story line is completely unique with enough twists and turns to keep you on your toes.

And with no way off the island until morning and paranormal activity on the increase it’s all very much a recipe for disaster. The group is already dysfunctional, with existing rifts and angsty feelings a-plenty. The group includes Alex, her new stepbrother Jonas, her best friend Ren, his love interest Nona and Nona’s best friend Clarissa. The indie adventure follows a group of teenagers as they explore Edwards Island, get drunk on the beach and then accidentally open a ghostly rift to another dimension.
