After thousands of years of war and suffering, the gods of death that haunt every universe have given up on life. What's the point when there will always be someone causing misery? One being--Necron--had this idea, and it translated universes over to all the other deathly incarnations, festering and taking hold of every ancient mind. Together they decided to destroy reality.


In order to do that, they had to destroy time itself.


Each world has a crystal, but each crystal is part of something much greater. Theories abound of an Hourglass of Time containing every world and crystal as its sand. This unfathomably vast structure regulates the flow of time and memory through every world in every conceivable timeline.


Death attacked in its united despair, and the Hourglass of Time cracked, dooming thousands of Alternate Universes to failure.


Only one Alpha Timeline still has a chance to succeed. Its dead have been revived, and may redeem themselves if they save their timeline. But death itself stands against them.


The Alternate Universes were always different, but they have become even more strange as memories and time merge into unrecognizable alternate worlds. They may have unforeseen effects on the surviving timeline, but they are trickling through the Hourglass one by one.


In the Alpha Timeline, all those living and now living have a choice to make.


Join the forces of light to save reality itself, or ally with the forces of darkness to end it, but bear one thing in mind:


You're running out of time.
