tempus fugit

Description

tempus fugit is a single player four-room puzzle game. The player must switch between four characters in separate rooms and collaborate remotely via the characters. 

Switches are used to grant characters access to additional areas. However, active switches use energy, which is only available in limited quantities. 

To obtain energy, marbles must be collected and brought to the power machine in the red room.

Progress therefore requires analysing the interactions between the rooms. A pipe system in the purple room activates pipes to send items between rooms. 

The goal is to find four keys and use them to unlock the corresponding locks.
