Two factions strive to shape the multiverse in their own images. Their operatives weave their way through all of time and space, making changes throughout the vast swell of history, trying to tip the balance of probabilities in favour of their masters. Should either side be victorious, a phase change will roar through the multiverse, perfecting all of reality for the victors, making it inimical to their foes. It is a total war across all of time and space.
You are an operative wholly devoted to one of these two powers. More than that, you are the best, a true virtuoso when it comes to manipulating the weave of the multiverse. Your power is immense; you wield it with delicate precision or catastrophic force based on the needs of the mission and your own inclination.
You are about to meet your match.
Against Time and Death is a two-player game of war, self-discovery, and connection across all of time and space. Designed to be played asynchronously, players take turns setting scenes across the breadth of the multiverse, taking dramatic (or subtle) action, and writing letters to each other as they explore their growing, forbidden relationship. Will one side defeat the other, or will you choose a more dangerous path together?
Filled with striking and evocative artwork by Paul Tomes, the game also includes four multiverse playsets from the best game design duos in the business:
- The Storybrewers, Vee Hendro and Hayley Gordon
- The Brain Trust, Adam Vass and Will Jobst
- MacGuffin and Co., Sasha Sienna and Jonathan Sims
- A Couple of Drakes, Navi Drake and Shawn Drake
Against Time and Death is a love letter to This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone, hidden in the swirling steam of a perfect cup of tea brewed beneath the light of a dying star.
