#the luminary

MAJOR plot spoilers for the game (that came out 9 years ago) but after a fake-out "ending" of the game with credits and everything he finds out a way to go back in time and decides that he didn't save the world good enough the first time, goes back and does it all over again so that one of his friends doesn't die along the way (and also generally preventing a lot of Bad Things Happening To The World). I think it's a little bit of a unique use of time travel because he DID succeed at Slaying The Great Evil and saving the world, but he STILL decided to go do it again BETTER when given the opportunity. Also, he kinda gets punished for it because in a classic time travel consequences way, turns out defeating the Big Bad Evil Guy super early because he knows how everything's gonna go actually let a Bigger Badder More Evil Guy get unleashed and then he has to deal with that, lmao. Everything turns out way better overall in the end though. The MEANS of time travel is pretty cool because it's The Time Sphere in The Tower Of Lost Time that seems to... Like... Absorb the passage of time? And then he shatters it and it takes him back to a point in the past somehow. Idk it's not explained in a lot of detail but it's neat. You can use the Sphere as the competitor instead of Luminary if you'd prefer a funky Glowing Sphere Of Time as more interesting than Some Guy. Or put them both in separately. The Time Keeper who watches over it is pretty cool and freaky looking too.
