Starstruck: Hands of Time

About

However Starstruck: Hands of Time lets you swap between two wildly different perspectives in a world collapsing under a creeping existential threat. As a colossal hand, you smash through a shrunken town while figuring out its secrets. Switch to two guitar-playing kids navigating the same events from the ground, their music and choices shaping outcomes. Rhythm-based guitar mechanics tie into both story progression and combat, with optional support for legacy controllers to amp up the rock factor. The game’s split viewpoint design and genre mashup of RPG, adventure, and music challenges stand out, blending narrative depth with quirky gameplay twists. Community previews highlight its inventive use of time travel as both a narrative tool and gameplay mechanic, letting you rewind, fast-forward, or outright demolish key moments. Createdelic’s latest arrives September 16, 2024, packing a soundtrack and sci-fi weirdness that’s earned early buzz for thinking outside the timey-wimey box.

Storyline

To save the world, a moon colonist travels back in time 1000 years to a pivotal moment in Earth’s history, armed only with their own hand, a charming spaceship computer, and the knowledge two children in this time period are critically important to Earth’s history.
