The Node

Time travel is possible.

That’s exactly why it must be stopped.

You wake up inside The Node — a sealed facility existing outside normal time.

It wasn’t built to explore the future.

It was built to protect the timeline.

The Node’s only purpose is to ensure that no one interferes with the past, the present, or what comes next.

But something has already gone wrong.

And now you are trapped inside the one place designed to stop time travelers.

Including you.
