Time to Explain! Challenges
In Time to Explain!, players are given a simple task: deliver their ship's cargo. In doing so, they are challenged:
to become more flexible when mapping out their next strategy
to learn from the past by incorporating its lessons into their next cycle
to become more confident in their ability to recognize and adapt to communication styles
Time to Explain! is a cute game that utilizes time travel to show players how different communication choices (or lack thereof) can make or break their mission.
More importantly, this game is FUN.
