Time Relic follows a member of the powerful Ri clan who must uncover secrets that could change history while deciding what the family's future will be. The game centers on interactive storytelling, with choices shaping the direction of the narrative and the balance of power around the protagonist.
Follow storylines shaped by decisions
Players move through different episodes and multiple storylines, making decisions that lead to consequences. The available paths are not presented as a single fixed sequence: choices help define the protagonist's destiny and can lead to different outcomes. Exploring each option and paying attention to details is part of understanding the mystery and the wider lore of the setting.
Discover secrets and character stories
The cast includes a range of girls with individual backgrounds, motivations, and quests. Their stories add separate perspectives to the adventure as the player encounters them and learns more about the world and its inhabitants. Mystery-solving is connected to these discoveries, with hidden secrets and lore revealed through the narrative.
Build relationships to reach deeper paths
Interactions with different characters allow players to form relationships and explore how those connections affect the story. Developing these relationships can unlock deeper plotlines and unique H-scenes. The game therefore links character choices with additional narrative content rather than treating every route as identical.
Explore alternative outcomes
Time Relic supports replaying the game to investigate alternative paths, outcomes, and character relationships. Revisiting the story gives players a way to examine choices they did not follow previously and uncover more of the available narrative content.
