Time travel can be a tricky subject to depict in any entertainment medium, be it books, movies, or video games. Still, many fan-favorite games have characters travelling back and forth through time, such as Chrono Trigger or The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - the latter spawning a branching Zelda timeline that follows the result of various end conditions. One interesting recent example of a game centering time-based mechanics is Cris Tales, released by Dreams Uncorporated and SYCK in July 2021.
