February: Leap Year

February is a special month, not only because it has 28 days, but also because every four years it has 29 days; this is called a leap year. But what if we could leap across time and space, and explore different realities and possibilities?

This month we will play games that have time travel, alternate realities, or branching paths as a main or secondary theme. Whether you want to save the world, escape a time loop, or discover a secret, there’s a game for you. Some examples are Deathloop, Life is Strange, Quantum Break, Prince of Persia, The Forgotten City, Returnal. You can also keep it simple and leap around different worlds in platformers.
Time waits for no one, so make the most of this month!
