Time Weaver is a short narrative game where you move Pilgrim, an experiment kept in a lab. Your powers are being tested - your touch moves objects back and forth in their timeline, like a selective time-travel. Your left hand rewinds time, your right hand fast-forwards it.
Time Machine is the backup mechanism of macOS, the desktop operating system developed by Apple.The software is designed to work with both local storage devices and network-attached disks, and is most commonly used with external disk drives connected using either USB or Thunderbolt. Taking on Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. Once it’s been prowling the Mac world for a few months—time enough to shake off the bugs—you’ll start to get the itch to upgrade. And you’ll be glad.
Who are you? Are you the only experiment in the lab? What did you do - or what are you about to do? Use your powers and put together the clues to sort out the story!
Help us out! Add your level!
The game as it is now is the skeleton structure of a potentially very longer series of puzzle to solve. How would you use these powers to create new levels? What combinations can you think of? Just write us everything - and we’ll add YOUR level to the game!

For Mac Os Catalina users:
We've received some complaints about the MacOs version of the game not running.
The solution to this problem is to extract the zip file with 'The Unarchiver' and not the standard program that usually opens these kind of files.

The concept seems interesting. However, I got stuck in 'The Station' chapter. I'm not really sure what I'm suppose to do there.
thank you! We don’t wanna make any spoiler of any kind, but if it can help you pass through that level keep in mind what you wish you could do if the train was running late 😉
Ingenious concept, very inspired music and illustrations! I'd like to see and play more levels!
thx for the feedback! We’re glad that you appreciated it 😍
I love this game. I like logic, irony and the message behind the experiment. I see in this game a fusion of many games from my childhood.
I also have a criticism: I want the second part of this experiment!
Thanks so much for the feedback! If there will be another version/second part we'll inform you ASAP :)
When you run this game you don't know what you are going to do. Every step teaches you something new. Kind of enigma and logic deduction, it leads you somewhere deep in human universe, from the beginning 'till the end.
Thanks for the comment! We had the exact same feeling while developing the game, to go deeper inside the story telling :)
Thanks!!
ITCH 2.1 (Legacy)
What's new in ITCH 2.1?
Time (itch) Mac Os X
- SP-6 Hardware control
- Simple Sync mode added for two deck controllers
- Smart Sync pitch behavior changes
ITCH 2.1 includes a large rewrite of all MPEG-4 file reading and writing of meta data (tagging data). This includes .mp4, .m4a, .aac and many .mov files. One of these changes involves writing Serato meta data to files in a different way than previous versions of ITCH.
When playing one of the affected audio files in ITCH for the first time, all existing Serato meta data will need to saved in the new format. Consequently there will be a lot of writing to file, as signified in the status bar.
ITCH 2.1 will not delete meta data created in previous versions of ITCH, however, new meta data created in ITCH 2.1 will not be able to be read in older versions. Such meta data includes cues, loops etc.
