Spacetime Chronicles is a paper stop-motion adventure about a boy, a cat, and the accidental collapse of time. Every room is a real paper set, every puzzle is solved by looking closely at the world, and nothing is explained twice. WHAT YOU DO Follow the cat through a school, an airport, a Tokyo street, a bus depot and places that should not exist. Climb, jump, push, hide, and work out what the world wants from you. Some rooms are quiet. Some are a maze with a clock running down. One is a tesseract.
