Overview/High Concept:  Born at the place where noir murder mysteries, space dramas, and time travel shenanigans intersect, Project TBD is a 2-D top-down, puzzle adventure game where you have been brought in to prevent the assassination of a brilliant-minded scientist, uncovering why they’re being targeted in the meantime. But there’s a catch - not just one assailant is after this target. You must use your newly gained time travel ability to repeat the same day from the beginning, looking for clues and finding ways to prevent each assassin’s plan, all while both you and the assailants must remain hidden amongst the crowds of the high class, jam-packed party the scientist is currently attending. Race against time with each passing attempt to accumulate knowledge and determine the fate of the target in Project TBD.
