Whyplay
Out of Time!
You’re a time-jumping Ranger hunting outlaws across shattered timelines. Every level throws you into a new warped world full of fast-paced shootouts, snap decisions, and boss fights that don’t let up.
Paradoxes everywhere
Each timeline has its own enemies, hazards, and the occasional paradox that drops something completely out of place into the fight. Time Cops in a Western town, Vikings in a modern day bank heist, mechas in a medieval village and more.
Play it your way!
There’s no inventory busywork, no gimmick interactions. You stay focused on what matters, shooting, reacting, and surviving the next wave.
- Dual wield or single-pistol play
- On-rails movement for low cognitive load and pure action
- Tight, timed sections with medal rankings
- Boss fights in every era
- Paradox encounters that break the rules
- Multiple biomes from Western towns to Viking raids, and beyond to the distant future
- Designed for replayability and leaderboard competition
Who is building it?
Bill Rountree ↗
Nuno Monteiro ↗We’re two devs whose lives got wrecked by the latest wave of industry layoffs. Not because we weren’t good at our jobs (we’re damn good), but because corporate greed holds share value higher than human talent.
While the industry has been collapsing and brilliant developers are being thrown aside, we teamed up and started building the game we’ve always wanted to make. We’ve been pouring everything we have into this, because no one else is going to do it for us.
This is us refusing to quit. This is us trying to stand on our own two feet. This is us choosing to make a living without depending on a corporation that treats people like numbers on a spreadsheet.
FAQ
Where can I play it?!
We are aiming to launch on Meta Horizon first, with a Steam release following. Our goal is to have it as broadly available as possible. This means as many PCVR supporting storefronts as possible. We originally launched a demo on itch. We plan to continue to support that platform. When we can, we will also try to sell it there. If you can’t wait, there is a Super Early Access preview demo on itch, and on SideQuest.
You guys are pretty cool! How can I support you?
Aw, gee! That is lovely to hear! Tell your friends. Wishlist the game everywhere. Buy a copy when you can. Buy your friends copies. Buy your dog a copy. Buy your copy a copy. We have a super early demo on itch that you can play, we try to update it every now and again. Any feedback you have would be SUPER helpful!
What is Bill's banana bread recipe?!
Here ya go! 90g wholemeal flour, 90g spelt flour, 360g smushed banana, 120g Greek yogurt, 60g protein powder (flavour is your choice, Salted Caramel is a banger), 1 egg, half a cup of milk (I use oat or soy milk), 60g honey, ¾ tsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, 35g walnuts (or poppy seeds), 1 tsp cinnamon. Mix it all up, whop it in a tray and cook that boyo! Also makes great banana bread muffins (my son loves these for breakfast on school mornings!)
