Personal review

Toki no Tabibito: Time Stranger is a game based on an anime dealing with time traveling. You are a time cop fleeing into the past where you meet and talk with historically important Japanese persons. You talk to them by answering yes or no and thus influencing Japanese history. The game is short but has lots of replay value with different endings depending on your answers throughout the time zones. Enjoyable if you understand Japanese and Japanese history and you are interested in "what if" scenarios. Graphically with only a dozen or so pictures there is not much to speak of.
