What Once Was by NecroDeath


You are in the final year of your PhD, your research topic is theoretical temporal mechanics (Time-Travel to the layman), your thesis conclusion is that it is possible in theory but impossible in practice.

You are in your office when you receive an urgent email from your supervisor Professor Weck asking for you to meet him in the laboratory.

Travel through time, navigate the perils of academia and solve the mystery of your missing supervisor.

Note: This game was an entry into the IFCOMP 2017 (https://ifcomp.org/comp/2017)

It is heavily recommended that you download the Quest software (free) and play offline to avoid game hangs due to game server freezes.

"Play online" now uses the new Quest Viva WasmPlayer. The legacy WebPlayer is being retired on 31 July 2026. If you have a Saved Game in the legacy WebPlayer, save it to a file before then.
