The apocalypse has come! There's no way to stop it...unless someone you know conveniently has created a time machine! Go back to certain times in history and try to stop it!
NOTE:
Some information in here is probably not historically accurate. I'm not the smartest guy in the book, and I didn't want to research a ton, that's what school's for. But you do go back to real times in history, even if not all the info is correct. Also, the first part before the time machine is pretty easy, and there's only one path to get there, so after you get there the first time every time you die and restart the game there's an option to skip that part but don't skip it before you did it the first time because you'll miss out on some of the story.
