New release: A Timely Intervention

Word reaches me that Aldorlea Games has recently released a follow-up to their popular RPG Maker jRPG The Tale of a Common Man (previously covered here). The name? A Timely Intervention.

Here’s the narrative premise:

“Those who control the present, control the past. And those who control the past control the future.”
That’s what they say, anyway, but maybe they are wrong. Who knows?
If you were able to go back in time and take the risk of changing everything you know, would you do it?

…

For the first part of the game, play as 2 separate parties, as the story goes back and forth between them. Each party has its own hopes and goals; when they meet can those be reconciled as they join forces? And how can they know what their choices will bring? Delve into a brand new world full of characters, secrets and possibilities.

A Timely Intervention features redundant mouse and keyboard controls, customizable enemy visibility, customizable encounter rate, and customizable difficulty. In addition, the developers list the following features:

• 10 characters
• Five characters in the active party to add strategic depth
• Many skills level up with use – how strong they are depends on you
• 8-direction movement with mouse or keyboard
• 17 side quests
• 30 secret rooms to discover
• 30+ hours of addictive gameplay
