[Vancouver, Canada/18 December 2023] - In a time shrouded in fear and superstition, where the mere whisper of witchcraft could ignite a fiery pyre, an innocent woman named Teagan finds herself condemned to the flames. However, fate had other plans as an unlikely ally rescued Teagan from the clutches of death. Now armed with newfound power and a burning desire for justice, Teagan embarks on an extraordinary adventure to protect the city that sought to destroy her. TimeMelters is a strategic witch-battler that blends spellcasting, environmental manipulation, and fast-paced combat. Players can tackle the game in single-player mode, team up with a friend in a two-player co-op, or challenge themselves in speedrun mode. 
 


 

Players can unleash their inner time-bending skills as a witch and master the art of creating copies of themselves to fight alongside across multiple timelines. This core mechanic of TimeMelters allows players to harness their strategic prowess and develop a playstyle of their alternate selves, leading an army of their clones to victory. 


Creating copies is just the beginning; Teagan has bewitching powers that manipulate the environment. Conjure rock walls to disrupt foes’ movement or rely on the power of mysterious trees to interfere with the onslaught of dangerous monsters. TimeMelters allows players to engage in hybrid action-strategy gameplay, meticulously planning their lines of attack and executing them precisely in real-time through various thrilling missions.
 

TimeMelters offers a variety of modes, including solo, co-op, and speed runs. Embark on an enthralling solo adventure packed with twists and turns in the single-player campaign. Or team up to conquer enemies with a friend in the co-op mode, allowing a second player to take on the role of Teagan’s brother Erwin. With the Friend Pass feature, two players can enjoy the game without needing a second game purchase. For those seeking an adrenaline rush, the speedrun mode offers a blistering test of skill and strategy while racing against the clock. 

 

Features: 

 

  • Time Manipulation: Rewind time and use your past self as an ally to play custom strategies to divide and conquer an almost never-ending horde of foes. 

 

  • Hybrid Gameplay: Plan and execute strategies and embark on various missions such as puzzle maps, boss fights, and escort missions, survival, and more.
     

  • Engaging Storyline: Travel back to a dark era when witchcraft was punishable by death and prepare for an engaging campaign with twists, turns, and jaw-dropping revelations!
     

  • Multiple Game Modes: Play the whole campaign with a friend online with a free Friend’s Pass on Steam. In Challenge mode, you can test your brain power with 40 mind-bending, 4-D thinking challenges or race against the clock to the top of the leaderboards in the Speedrun Mode.

 

TimeMelters is available now in Early Access on Steam. As the game nears its full launch, players will be able to enjoy more than 15 hours of gameplay stretched over 40 unique time-bending challenges.
