About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a trip back to the United States in 1992 with T.I.M.E Stories: The Marcy Case! This is the first official expansion for the series and throws you right into an investigation that demands teamwork and sharp wits. As with all T.I.M.E Stories, you are temporal agents tasked with solving a mystery in a specific year, but beware: time is limited, and every action counts. The cooperative mechanic is the heart of the game, forcing everyone to collaborate to unravel the secrets of The Marcy Case. Dice rolling can be your ally or your foe, adding an element of luck to the strategy. Role-playing and the engaging narrative ensure you feel immersed in the story, while variable player powers add an extra strategic touch. Prepare for a challenge that will test your deduction skills and teamwork, all wrapped in a science fiction setting that loves to play with the past. It's an adventure that will keep you hooked from start to finish, but remember, replayability is limited, so make the most of every second of this unique mission!
