The story of Kurono
How it all began...
It’s the year 2405. Humanity is finally seeing a time of bliss and stability, having bounced back from the 22nd Century “Great Collapse” that almost saw its extinction. The Earth was terraformed, colonies thrive on Mars, and solar sailing promises to get us far into space.
Titania is home to the Scriptsonian – one of the most prestigious museums of the republic, where traces of past times and civilisations rest. One curious artefact dating from before the Great Collapse has experts mystified. It's believed to be a time machine – but knowledge of how to make the machine work is long lost, if it ever existed.
The only inscription on this machine spells “K U R O N O”.
Each year, the museum’s curator welcomes a class from a local school to look after the exhibits for a few weeks. This year, a talented class from SAM (School of Algorithm and Matter) was rewarded with the task. These curious students were to spend their time in the museum’s grand halls, caring for every precious artefact and learning from the experience.
It was all going smoothly. That is until they stumbled across the mysterious time machine and accidentally set its gears in motion. The machine created a spacetime vortex, sucking in many of the museum’s valued possessions. By reading each object's timecode, it returned them all back to their original time and location.
Afraid that the incident might cost them their final grades, the students set off to retrieve the items scattered across five timelines using the very same time machine!
