Very good scenario, really enjoyed to play! It has some interesting concepts in it and some funny jokes, the graphics are also very good. It took my group around 3 hours to play.

The scenario is very much focused on the story, which means often there isn't much choice for which location to go to. The whole path is almost completely predefined. We found this a bit less fun than the open world feeling of e.g. Ancients part 1.

I felt like I needed a sedative after playing this--what an adrenaline rush!

Part 2 is much different than Part 1. Part 1 is full of theme and atmosphere with a wide-open world and lots of time to explore, while Part 2 sets a more frantic pace, has some trickier puzzles, some really interesting receptacles, slick graphics and settings, and a meta-story which builds to an intense climax.

This is what the official story should have been. You finally start to get some LOGICAL explanations for all those items, characters, factions, and events that were never explained in the official story. So cool.

Some things to note: **This is Part 2 of a trilogy. **You should have played at least the first four official scenarios before The Ancients Cycle: Asylum, Marcy Case, Prophecy of Dragons, Under the Mask. **It would be best to have played Lumen Fidei as well. **You will also appreciate this more if you've followed some of the extra information on The Time Chronicle website. **You will have to beat Part 2 to go on to Part 3. Winning isn't a given--you may need to try more than once. Details are important--pay attention!

I can't wait to see how it ends in Part 3.

Note: This was a playtest version, and my comments may not apply in full to the final version.

It was very enjoyable. Feels like a professional game. The references to previous Time Story games gave it continuity and added deliciously to being apart of that world. You can easily play this without knowing the references. We were confused about the mechanics of one of the puzzles, but still survived. Would recommend playing Ancients part 1 first.

Designer This "10" is just a counterweight to the "1" and "5" for as long as there are not enough votes to approximate the genuine rating (the valuing members didn't even see this scenario, see their other ratings) - will remove it later.
