✓ Both are first-person shooters — sharing shooter, first-person shooting and melee combat

≠ Where it differs: brings puzzle design, horror tension and adventure storytelling

Time manipulation applied to objects rather than the whole world: you age a crate to dust or restore a collapsed staircase, and it is used cleverly in traversal and combat. A tight, short campaign. It borrows heavily and openly from BioShock and Half-Life 2, and the shooting itself is unremarkable once the time device stops surprising you.
