Overview
[THIS GUIDE HAS BEEN RETIRED, AND COVERS ONLY PART ONE]This guide is complete up to the finale of Part One, including all five cases.
Introduction
July 14 update: Videos for remaining cases added. Guide is now complete until part two is released.
The Temporal Invasion is not strictly a difficult game. You may be able to figure out lots of things just from being alive. Perhaps you’ll see a picture of someone you recognize, and the clue is that person’s name; within seconds, bam, you’ve figured out the puzzle.
Google will be your friend for many parts of this.
When it comes to answers, capitalization and grammar do not seem to matter, as long as the answers are spelled correctly. For example (and this is not in-game, as far as I know), if the answer is a person and that person is Steve Wozniak, you can use his name in proper caps or in lowercase. But if you spell Steve as Steeve, it’ll be bounced back as wrong.
THERE ARE SOLUTIONS PROVIDED. I’ve used the
tag to black out what the actual answers are, and have provided a few clues. While you can obviously just check the answers, why not do a quick search and attempt to figure it out yourself? The best part of any game is coming to the conclusion on your own.The updating of this guide will be sporadic, due to time constraints and many other games that I’ll be playing. To make sure you’re always up to date, you can follow my group page, or follow my guides directly.
Happy solving!
