About this game
Datura Time - Unleash Your Heroic Potential in a Retro-3D, Eastern European-Inspired Alternate Reality!
Datura Time is a third-person action-adventure game that catapults you into a realm swirling with mystery, suspense, and dynamic action. This captivating world is a tribute to the 90's console games era, handcrafted with love and passion by a single-developer, Vladeta Stojanovic, with an infusion of post-Soviet and Eastern European aesthetics.
You, the player, are plunged into an enigmatic alternative reality known as the "Zone" after an accidental encounter with a peculiar drug - "Datura". Here, you'll cross paths with a host of characters, some allies, some foes, all delivering a singular message - you are an outsider and the unfolding reality is more than meets the eye.
As you navigate this perilous world, you'll unravel the Zone's hidden truths - it's a metaphysical limbo, home to the souls of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, currently under the control of malevolent entities.
