Time of the Clones

I picked up Time of the Clones expecting another indie roguelike, and instead found something rarer: a puzzle game that respects your intelligence without demanding reaction speed. You're trapped in a time loop inside a scientific complex, and the only way out is recruiting and coordinating clones of yourself to solve increasingly intricate scenarios. Each clone carries its own state, memory, and constraints, which forces you to plan actions in sequence rather than fumble through real-time chaos. The core loop is tight and economical. You reset, clone yourself, send versions of yourself to different puzzle chambers, watch them fail or succeed, adjust, and try again. It's pure cause-and-effect reasoning. The downside: it's small, sub-five-dollar scope, and won't scratch an itch if you want sprawling campaigns or competitive multiplayer. It's a snack-sized strategy game for people who think their way through problems rather than button-mash through them.
