The system works by having the two playable spaces, past and future, stacked vertically above each other. When the player chooses to time travel, the player is teleported vertically by a set distance with a visual effect in order to create the time travelling effect. By offsetting the worlds by a specific distance, the player is able to teleport between the two different timelines, which perfectly align. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618c88b7fd12271943c33666/6578768c-d2a1-4606-951d-e97a2c6bec96/Sway.png Split Aeon - Get your tilt on!
