FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
RALEIGH, N.C. - August 14, 2026 - Independent developer Fluxionary Studios today unveiled the announcement trailer for Time Distortionists and launched the game’s official Steam page.
Time Distortionists is a single-player, turn-based strategy game about managing The Anchor, a facility suspended beyond causality. From there, players scan thirteen billion years of history, investigate collapsing eras, deploy specialized agents, and build infrastructure across the timeline to hold back Stasis.
Every intervention rewrites what comes afterward. Saving one civilization may destabilize another. Erosion spreads backward from the future, resources remain painfully finite, and there are always more crises than agents available to solve them.
You cannot save everything. You have to decide what deserves to survive.
“Time travel stories usually focus on changing one pivotal event,” said Bill Dusch, founder of Fluxionary Studios and developer of Time Distortionists. “I wanted to explore what happens when the entire timeline becomes a strategy problem. Every decision ripples forward, every solution creates new consequences, and eventually you have to confront the possibility that preserving everything may be just as dangerous as destroying it.”
Key features include:
- Explore Moments spanning from the beginning of the universe to the far future.
- Deploy teams of Chronautes, Thaumaturgists, Mediators, Archivists, and Catalysts, matching their abilities to each mission’s risks.
- Watch interventions ripple forward through causality as civilizations, alliances, and future crises change in response.
- Expand The Anchor within a finite facility grid, balancing research, resource production, defenses, and agent support.
- Build installations across history to stabilize critical Moments before Erosion removes them from the timeline.
- Forge alliances with civilizations across different eras and recruit agents from throughout history.
- Develop competing philosophies of preservation, controlled chaos, and understanding, each unlocking different tools and paths through the campaign.
- Choose how to confront the Stillness: build enough infrastructure to seal it away, or pursue it to the source.
Time Distortionists is currently in development and is coming soon to Steam. Players can watch the announcement trailer and wishlist the game now.
