Developer Lunar Ray Games announced on September 26th, “Timespinner 2: Unwoven Dream” (hereinafter referred to as Timespinner 2) was announced. The supported platform is PC (Steam).
“Timespinner 2” is a 2D action game. The main character of this work is the hero Auria, a retired military officer. One day, in the world she lives in, a tower floating on the sea begins to move. According to legend, when the tower awakens, the end of the world will come. When her son heard this, he left to save the world. So Auria, the main character, sets out on her own adventure to protect her own son.
In this game, you control Auria and explore various locations, including eerie forest areas and the ocean. In addition to the presence of an intricate map in the upper right corner of the play screen, it is also described as a Metroidvania, and exploration seems to be one of the main gameplay elements. And use magical orbs as weapons to defeat strange and terrifying enemies. Along the way, there are elements that will give the protagonist new abilities.

This work is a sequel to “Timespinner” released in 2018. In the previous game, the protagonist was able to stop time in the game by using a tool called the Timespinner. As long as the hourglass gauge at the top left of the screen lasted, it was possible to stop time and use the enemy as a foothold or avoid attacks.
