High concept
The player is a bounty hunter that travels through time to save his present. What he has to do is to eliminate all the different types of enemy that appear at the different time zone.

Features
The world starts off in a pitch black labyrinth with only limited sight available When the vial is used, the map will pulsate, revealing the map for a split second before turning back to pitch black. The light would be a pulsating flash. The monsters will roam the labyrinth freely; players have to avoid them even though they cant see them in the darkness. In the map, chests would be placed randomly. The chest would contain vials (for the pulsating light), Lamp fuels (to widen the FOV) and lives. For the fuels, player can choose to off or on the lamp, it will allow the player to save the lamp for later use There would be puzzle-like-obstacle map Monster-pedia feature, for every different new monster you kill/hunt, it allow you to collect the monster data. It would somewhat be a kill list for the player. Every game would be different from the previous game. Player would enter a different map every time the player presses start game in the menu and each map would represent different time era.

Updated: A knockback system when the player hit the monster Add a stamina bar or a delay for the hero attack, so that he is not able to swing and fling.
