Decade

A ruined future hangs over every decision, and the only way to understand its collapse is to send children backward through time in ten-year jumps. Decade is an experimental narrative adventure built around investigating the causes of an ending that has already happened, then attempting to redirect history before it hardens into catastrophe. Its mood is thoughtful, unsettling, and deliberately mysterious, asking players to piece together a fractured timeline rather than simply chase a single heroic solution.

Each trip into the past revolves around examining records, strange technologies, and recovered artefacts for clues about the forces shaping the world. The children are not static agents: they age dramatically as the decades pass, and managing their changing abilities becomes part of choosing which leads to pursue and which risks to accept. Decisions branch into multiple possible futures, letting you visit the consequences of earlier choices instead of treating endings as a final screen. Progress comes from learning how separate discoveries connect, unlocking more of the narrative and opening routes toward different outcomes.

What makes Decade distinctive is its focus on generational time travel rather than a conventional point-and-click adventure structure. A script exceeding 50,000 words supports a dense web of revelations, while 20 FMV endings give the many futures a tangible, cinematic payoff. Nine unlockable visual themes, each paired with its own soundtrack, add personality to repeated investigations and make revisiting timelines feel less mechanical. Players who enjoy the archival detective work of Her Story, the branching dilemmas of Reigns, or speculative fiction that treats time travel as a moral problem should find plenty to unpack; it suits patient narrative fans more than anyone seeking action or straightforward puzzles.
