Wilkommen to Times-Ville

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

I'm happy to welcome all you new citizens of Times-Ville.

What is Times Ville ?
Times-Ville is a small European town somewhere in the Mid-West of Europe during the 70s just after the wars ended. It has a population of 25,000 people.

What is Rick Rack ?
Rick Rack is a design pattern generally a flat piece of BRAIDed trim, shaped like a zigzag. It is used as a decorative element in clothes, curtains.

Why is BRAID in Bold ?
The game uses a mechanic which was used in the game Braid. Time Rewinding.
The game is inspired from the movie Donnie Darko. The game's story has something related to that movie.

Why is the Game's name Rick Rack ?
The game's name is Rick Rack because the player will be bouncing around literally and metaphorically by making life decisions for few of the citizens of Time-Ville.

Decisions, Choices, Story ? The Premise
The town of Times-Ville has met with an incident which somehow broke the fabric of time and sent the town and its citizens in a loop. The loop will stay until the event is avoided or it will create an Alternative Universe.

How to end the Loop ?
The time loop and the citizens are somehow interlinked. Few of the citizens 15 to be exact had taken some crucial decisions few days before the event and the options they had chosen are linked to the event.
Their actions can either STOP the incident or LET it happen.

The player will be in control of these 15 people and will be driving around town, living their day-to-day lives and making choices trying to take the time loop towards the corrective path to merge the Alternate timeline with the Main timeline.

That just about sums up the introduction to the game and the FAQs.
Welcome to Times-Ville. Welcome to Rick Rack.

See you in the game.
