Gameplay combines platforming, combat, and puzzle-solving with time-altering mechanics. The 'Cause and Effect' system allows actions in one timeline to impact the other, creating dynamic environmental changes.
While simplified from the console versions, the DS adaptation was praised for its faithful comic book aesthetic and creative use of the dual-screen format to showcase the time-displaced narratives.
