About the game

What you do in a play session

Embark on an epic journey with Sine Tempore, a cooperative game for 1 to 4 players that throws you into a distant past, thousands of years before the events of Nova Aetas. Here, you and your team of intergalactic explorers are searching for a new home, venturing into unexplored worlds and facing the dangers of Primevus V. Prepare for spectacular scenarios and an alien atmosphere rich in detail, all while your spaceship encounters various extraterrestrial species—some friendly, others somewhat suspicious, and some openly hostile.

Each mission has a clear objective: conquer territories and uncover new sectors. Success not only paves the way for exploration but also grants access to vital resources to build new structures and equipment in the post-mission phase. The campaign is designed for high replayability, with multiple paths leading to three distinct endings, ensuring each journey is unique. At the heart of the game, a robust 'end game' system allows you to develop your characters through a modern skill tree and a crafting mechanism inspired by Nova Aetas. With 39 detailed miniatures, including 4 heroes, you'll delve into unexplored jungles, used as hunting grounds by primitive creatures, and explore ancient ruins of forgotten civilizations. Sine Tempore is an immersive experience that combines exploration, tactical combat, and a captivating narrative in a visually stunning package.
