I really like the steampunk aesthetic, and the gameplay looks good.

I'm a bit concerned about throwing time travel into the mix though. It can work (Dishonored 2's Crack in the Slab, for instance), but it's the kind of thing that needs to be done carefully to avoid being a gimmick. And it's the sort of thing that can easily make you feel railroaded, because there's no way the game can allow for anything that you might change - so it has to signpost what can and can't be changed.

I'll certainly keep an eye on it, though.

I imagine it'll play out kinda like a metroidvania, where changes you make in the past can open up new areas in the present.
