Publisher: Exosyphen Studios       Developer: RVL Games       Release Year: 2014 Ashley Ford is a "thief" who explores a dilapidated mansion in hopes of learning the truth behind her father's disappearance. She discovers a mysterious crystal in his belongings that allows her, under the right circumstances, to travel through time. While Crystals of Time has an interesting time travel gimmick, it is quite clearly underdeveloped, as you only briefly travel back in time in two rooms of the mansion. There is massive evidence in the game files to suggest that more time travel was planned, but cut, including three more rooms with unused "past" variants. Since the blue-green crystal you start with allows time travel in two predominantly green-colored rooms, it is likely that the red and blue crystals you acquire later were meant for time travel in the mansion's red and blue rooms. Why this was ultimately axed when it seemed to be the entire point of the game is beyond my knowledge.
