Press release:
Montreal, Canada, February 28, 2024.
The Montreal-based (Canada) indie games developer AutoExec Games today announced with great happiness and excitement that the full version (v1.0) of their award-winning time-bending hardcore strategy action hybrid “Timemelters”, is now available for PC via Steam (the game is also coming to the PS5 and Xbox Series X at a later time this year).

Grand Winner at the Ubisoft Indie Contest 2022, Gold Winner of Best Indie Game at NYX 2023, and winner of the Technological Innovation Award at MIGS 2023, TimeMelters features a unique time-shifting mechanic that allows players to rewind the clock and fight alongside their past selves to prevent doomsday after it’s happened. Scheme strategies and explore co-op game mechanics like aggro or support while playing solo. Better yet, enlist the help of a real-life buddy for free with the Friend Pass – only one copy of the game is required!

Rewind, fast forward, and pause version 1.0’s new revamped missions with spellbinding abilities on your own or as a duo. Experience real-time action-strategy gameplay across distinct single-player and co-op campaigns that twist time in never-before-seen ways. Solve puzzles, defeat bosses, and defend massive territories to gradually enhance your magic with the skill tree. Think fast with 40 mind-bending challenges and top the leaderboards in TimeMelters’ speedrun mode. The past, present, and future are in flux. Harness the hourglass before time slips away

“Back in the day, PC owners would need to enter a command line, c:\autoexec.bat, to boot up their games,” says Vincent Blanchard, CEO at AutoExec Games.

“Our studio was named after the sense of marvel we felt after entering that command line and sinking into classics like Diablo and King’s Quest for the first time. These were titles that revolutionized entire genres with their fresh, captivating gameplay.

We crafted TimeMelters over the course of five years as an attempt to recapture the same awe we experienced way back then, as well as offer veteran gamers something new, challenging, and fun to chew on. We hope they have just as much fun playing TimeMelters as we had creating it, and look forward to bringing this time-twisting adventure to consoles later in 2024.”

Key Features:

Time Distortion Mechanic: TimeMelters offers a refreshing twist to the strategy genre by allowing players to manipulate time to their advantage… and unravel the mysteries of history in the process.

Online Cooperative Campaign: In addition to a solo option, TimeMelters offers a robust online cooperative campaign and Friend Pass that allows players to invite buddies for free.

Varied Gameplay Phases: TimeMelters seamlessly blends planning phases, action phases, and role-playing elements. With a skill tree, a rich narrative, and engaging storylines, players can expect a multifaceted gaming experience that caters to strategy enthusiasts and narrative-driven gamers alike.

Time Manipulation: Rewind time and use your past self as an ally to play custom strategies and divide and conquer an almost never-ending horde of foes.

Intriguing Narrative: Travel back to a dark era when witchcraft was punishable by death and prepare for an engaging campaign with twists, turns, and jaw-dropping revelations!

TimeMelters’ 1.0 version is now available on PC via Steam. The game is slated to launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X later this year. For more information, please visit TimeMelters’ Steam page.
