Time Hollow

Almost everybody has regrets about the past. But only Ethan Kairos, the star of Konami's story-driven graphic adventure Time Hollow, has the power to do something about it. Although Ethan seems like a typical high-school student living a normal life, on the morning of his 17th birthday he wakes up to discover that everything has changed. His parents are gone--apparently deceased for 12 years--and his life is completely different from the one he knew. As he tries to comprehend what's happened, he acquires the mystical Hollow Pen (it looks a lot like a DS stylus), which gives him the ability to "dig holes" into the past. By using the pen, Ethan is able to manipulate past events and change his present, thus slowly unravelling the mystery around his altered reality and bringing him closer to reuniting with his family.

While the puzzle-orientated point-and-click gameplay appears very promising, the storytelling and presentation should also be highlights: Time Hollow is cowritten by Junko Kawano (who previously explored intriguing time-travel themes in the underappreciated PlayStation 2 game Shadow of Destiny) and features numerous fully animated cut-scenes by acclaimed studio AIC, which has been involved with anime series such as Gun X Sword and Ah! My Goddess. Konami is expected to announce Time Hollow for an August release in North America.

I'm a sucker for games like this. I hope they have some more info on this game at E3. ^__^
 
This is going to have a lot of trippy, confusing time- travel dialouge.

I love it already :D

I'm not sure, but the cutscenes are done by the acclaimed studio AIC, which has been involved with anime series such as Gun X Sword and Ah! My Goddess. It does have a very anime-ish style to it.

BTW, I picked it up, and so far I like it. It's too early to say much, but I'll add more as I play more of the game.
 
Ok, played some more, and I gotta say, I love this game.

Have you ever seen the movie Butterfly Effect? It's kind of like that.

The main character has the ability to change things in time, but for every change he makes, something else happens as a result. Sometimes fixing one problem causes something even worse, and then you have to fix it again.

It's really cool. I love things like this.

Yeah, the main character in Time Hollow is way cooler than Ashton Kutcher.

Oh, that's good. Is the game new? I'll look for it if it's cheap.
