Time Hollow (Blog Post #8)

Hi there!
Last night I picked up an awesome game called Time Hollow, and I'm here today to let you know just a little bit about it, to get you interested.




Plot

Time Hollow follows the story of Ethan Kairos, whose parents mysteriously disappear on his 17th birthday. Ethan realizes that the entire world has changed to a world where his parents had disappeared 12 years ago.

Ethan then finds a note tied to his cat's collar telling him to look in a dumpster behind his school, where he finds a Hollow Pen, an object with the unique power to open portals to the past, as well as a note from his parents. Ethan uses the pen to solve problems that suddenly and mysteriously occur, and so starts changing the present, though he himself is able to remember these past parallel universes.

He also meets a girl, Kori Twelves, who seems to share Ethan's sight of time.

Now I'll stop here before I reveal anything major to the plot line. As Kori Twelves is not exactly what I would call my most favored character in the game (sorry to say I dislike her quite a bit), I have to stop talking about the plot as she is a part of it (regrattably).


Ethan Keiros



Ethan Kairos (時尾 歩郎, Tokio Horō)


The main character of Time Hollow. On the morning of his seventeenth birthday, he discovered that the world had changed into one where his parents went missing 12 years ago. In order to solve this mystery, he takes up the Hollow Pen, which has the power to change history.

About his name:

"Tokio Horō" is a pun on the Japanese pronunciation of the word "hollow" as well as on "time corridor" (toki no horou). His English last name is Latin for "the fullness of time." Kairos (καιρός) is an ancient Greek word meaning the right or opportune moment (the supreme moment). The ancient Greeks had two words for time, chronos and kairos. While the former refers to chronological or sequential time, the latter signifies a time in between, a moment of undetermined period of time in which something special happens. What the special something is depends on who is using the word.

The opening theme song and clip used for Time Hollow really blew me away. The clips used where amazing to me- as this is an anime game- however the song used was really quite interesting. To be completley honest, I went to youtube.com to try and find the song right after I heard it, and I found it!!
