SINGULARITY
A TIME TO KILL

"The possibilities of a device that can move objects through time as easily as you wave your hand through the air are endless. You could revert an empty can of soup to full - now every garbage can is a treasure trove. The broken elevator in your office lobby could be sent back to its factory-new state, negating any inconvenience or cost repairs. You could uncover any message ever written on any wall, chalkboard, or computer screen. A lock barring your way could be quickly crumbled into a pile of rust. You could make any broken crate a hiding spot, or turn an impassable hedge into saplings.

You could grind your enemies into dust."

By manipulating E99 (a real life element of little interest) Soviet Scientists in 1950 created machines that generated massive amounts of power and had amazing abilities, all without any apparent cost. An ill-advised experiment, however, caused a massive explosion that destroyed much of the island where the experiments took place, setting the rest adrift in time. As a result, reality swings back and for between 1950 and the present day, and objects are sometimes dragged out of their proper time. Eerie, malevolent creatures now roam the island, seemingly only interested in carnage. Ghostly apparitions pop into our reality, damned forever to relive the horrible events of that day in 1950. One man is unwillingly deposited into this chaotic milieu after being shot down by unknown assailants.

It is my understanding that you, the player, will be able to manipulate time using a Time Manipulation Device (TMD). Thus, giving you the ability to manipulate the time of an object . You could drastically shorten the lifespan of your enemies or revert them back to a slimy, placental mass (ew). The TMD has many other creative uses, such as crumbling the supports of a platform, plummeting the enemies residing on top of it to their death.

Inspiration: "1950s sci-fi and the paranoid Cold War atmosphere that spawned it is the inspiration for Singularity's unique setting." (Looks a lot like Bioshock to me >_>)

That sounds cool... if they pull it off well. Otherwise, it could be pretty trashy.

Based on screenshots it looks pretty good so far D: I'm really picky about games, so I'll be happy if it goes well
