The kingdom of Urralia is gone, annihilated by a dark deity. In this action murder-mystery game you are the Harbinger, a mythical warrior who must relive and repeat Urralia’s final day to solve a mysterious murder and save the world. Talk with the inhabitants of war-torn Urralia, separate truth from lies, and use the power of Omensight to alter their fates. Choice and consequence, multiple courageous companions, and skillful combat all weave together to deliver a unique blend of narrative and action. With each choice, time and fate is changed, bringing you one step closer to Urralia’s salvation.

The game is simple but fun, Ratika is the best companion by far, I loved her playfull personality, Draga was a close second, can't say the same for the other 2 male companions', but all in all, I liked the experience.

Great game that improves a lot from the gameplay loop Stories: The Paths of Destiny laid out initially.

It was fine
Taking a trip back in time felt fitting, much like the mechanics of this game, which lets you jump through different parts of history to piece together a world teetering on the edge of ruin. With the announcement of Spearhead Games upcoming sequel to Stories, I was inspired to revisit some of their past original titles.
This is a very linear game. You travel through time, ask questions or kick ass to get answers, with moderately frustrating enemies. Unfortunately, many action scenes and transitions remove your ability to move and react, often resulting in unavoidable, unnecessary damage or failed escort missions. This is also before all the bugs and glitches happened, some of which required a restart or even a character death to resolve.
Progress depends on who you visit and what you say to unlock new dialogue and hints. The game can be completed in as little as 5 hours or as many as 12, easy mode or hard mode. Depending on your chosen difficulty and the paths you take. I played on hard mode, which paradoxically felt both easy and unfair, with awkward scaling / enemies as they frequently spam powerful attacks and cheap shots, especially when you’re locked in animations. Most combat boils down to freezing time, whipping enemies, running around, tossing them, and repeating the process with companion skills. It gets repetitive quite quickly, and so does the time manipulation / story, if I am being quite honest, but I still found it to be fun, regardless of all that.
The story didn’t particularly grab me, though I really dig Ratika’s character design. There’s a lot of rerunning the same stages multiple times, and you can’t properly skip cutscenes or stories, which becomes tedious. Overall, this isn’t a terrible game, but it doesn’t offer anything really to mention as big, either.
Conclusion
I had my fun with it, wouldn't highly recommend it, wouldn't push it so far down that there isn't much to offer. If you're looking for something repetitive to keep you occupied for a handful of hours, it could be a good fit. One full run will get you 95-99% of the achievements, so it's really not going to take too much time from you.
So in summary. It's fine, didn't get a whole lot of traction back then due to being released by the AAA giants. (RDR2, MHW, Etc)

Very cool art and tight game play. The story is good and the the voice acting was a highlight. The main issue I had was with the platforming sections that were thankfully few and far between. Overall a good experience.

Solving a mystery by re-living the same day following 4 different individuals, in order to prevent the end of the world. Combat is OK, but the true hook of this game is how the stories of the 4 characters interweave and change depending on your actions on a given day.

Great time loop game
Just challenging enough and just long enough where it dosen't get tedious, plenty of paths to take though you don't get to see the clues and the mystery part until new game plus. It also gets dropped 75% through the campaign
The memory hunts were the worst part as there are no walk throughs to find a certain memory, you have to go through all of them until you find the one you missed I spent 2 extra hours getting them all. Games length will be 10 hours for most.

Enjoyed the games and the story of the game.
Lots of good quality of life desicions done.
I don't like how movement works with keyboard and mouse but i can understand the reasons for that.
