About this game
Deckscape: Test Time casts you as one of Doctor Thyme's star pupils, invited to prove yourselves on his newest invention. It goes sideways almost immediately: an alarm blares, the windows grate shut, and the doctor vanishes through a trapdoor mid-sentence, leaving you locked in with his half-finished time machine and a room full of puzzles. No app, no boxes of gadgets, just a deck of cards you flip, read and reason through together to escape before time runs out. Four different endings reward how well you actually passed the doctor's test, so the story genuinely shifts depending on your choices. A pocket-sized escape room built for a rainy afternoon.
