The game, set in a futuristic Tokyo in 2031, follows five protagonists navigating the consequences of time manipulation to prevent a catastrophic event. Known for its cinematic storytelling and interactive drama mechanics, Time Travelers features branching timelines and quick-time events that influence the story’s multiple endings. The translation covers the entire main story, including all bad endings, menus, movies, and choices. However, the post-game content, described as a life-simulation mode, remains untranslated for now.
