In this gritty puzzle-action game, a band of reveling criminals keeps their island-set home city in an endlessly repeating daily cycle so they can carry on with their wild behavior. A security expert (voice of Jason E. Kelley) becomes determined to break free of the time trap. But to do so he will not only need to assassinate eight opponents, each of whom holds a key to restoring the proper flow of chronology, but thwart the efforts of another adversary (voice of Ozioma Akagha), to kill him before he can complete his questionable quest. While this is an innovative and creative title that stresses narrative over action, even mature gamers need to be wary of its morally shaky premise — the achievement of a good end through unethical means — its harsh content and its abundance of vulgarity in spoken and written form alike. Problematic values, intense violence with gory images, sexual and drug references, much rough and crude language. The Catholic News Service classification is L — limited adult audience, material whose problematic content many adults would find troubling. The Entertainment Software Rating Board rating is M — mature.
