Seeking cover is done seamlessly when near a cover option, just through movement, and moving out of cover is done in the same way, without using an additional key or button. Weapons can also be picked up from killed enemies. However, ammunition is limited, encouraging players to use the many time-manipulation abilities or to shoot explosive elements in the environment to take out enemies quickly. He can carry up to three different firerarms such as pistols, shotguns and machine guns, each with their own ammo type. The opposition mostly consists of soldiers who work for Monarch Solutions, a corporation founded by Serene, and hunt down Joyce for him. In the acts Joyce needs to shoot his way through levels.
Likewise, certain discoveries and choices in the acts, through ‘quantum ripples’, also influence the story in a minor way, so the TV series are not a fixed, identical sequence for every player. At the beginning of an episode there are “junction points” where major decisions can be made that influence the further events, leading to a branching story. They are watched, not played, but there are interactive parts to it. These are presented as four episodes of about 20 minutes each of a live action TV series.
Between those five acts there are four episodes where the game follows antagonist Serene. The game consists of five large acts where the player controls protagonist Joyce. He wants to get rid of Jack and Beth to be the only one who can exploit the powers. Unlike Jack, Paul has precognition and can foresee the future. They are initially best friends, but their powers take them in different directions. Jack, together with Paul Serene introduced later on, both receive different time-manipulation abilities through the experiments. His brother is soon taken away and Jack looks for a way to find him back, with the help of a woman called Beth Wilder he meets early. Jack needs to escape from the facility with his brother while soldiers arrive, attempting to cover up the disaster. They also cause stutters that affect the flow of time in the everyday environment. They are experimenting with time travel and at the start of the game it is revealed right away that the experiments have gone wrong. He is there with his gifted brother William Joyce who works at the university as a physics scientist. The game’s protagonist is Jack Joyce and it starts in medias res at the fictional Riverport University, set in the Northeastern United States.
