A Rat in Time

Trapped in a Rat-Wizard's enchanted clock tower, you have no choice but to find your way out. However, as time passes, you keep ending back up at the same place where you started out...

Stuck in a time Loop, your goal is to find what is causing it. But between you and your goal is difficult platforming, many not-so-pleasant obstacles, and most importantly, an unforgiving time limit that will kick you back to the start.

If you are using Firefox, there may be some visual bugs (ie. rewind animation not playing, some text characters not loading) . If you want the best experience with the web player, try using Chrome!
