Temporal Fuse (Dreams) Review
Posted: 15 months ago.
Author: @GeekDadGamer.
Overview
Temporal Fuse is a puzzle game where you explore a building to defuse bombs. You only have 30 seconds, but time only proceeds when you move. This forces you to think carefully about each step and interaction. You will die, but each time you have learned a little more about the rooms where the bombs are.
Play involves exploring each location carefully. You must use environmental clues to discover the location and not be fooled by other flashing lights or beeping objects. It's a puzzle that only gives up its secret after multiple tries (and failures).
Once you have found the bombs the game changes into a race to get them to the pool. However the puzzle is not that space is fractured and you are teleported from one location to another.
