Albatross melds retro-futuristic time travel with puzzles and platforming

Albatross is a platformer that bounces back and forth in time. The answers to its puzzles lie both in the present and future, and players will traverse the two as the story gradually unfolds. Indie studio Deeper Magic Company is raising funds for its debut title on Kickstarter, and it plans on releasing the game in 2019 for PC and possibly other platforms.

The star of the game is Stewart, an engineer who visits the titular research facility where they study spacetime. He discovers a handy gadget that enables him to travel between time periods, but as often is the case, with time travel comes trouble. Stewart will have to swap between his present day and a dystopian future to unravel a disaster that befalls Albatross.
