“Back in the day, PC owners would need to enter a command line, c:\autoexec.bat, to boot up their games,” says Vincent Blanchard, CEO at AutoExec Games. “Our studio was named after the sense of marvel we felt after entering that command line and sinking into classics like Diablo and King’s Quest for the first time. These were titles that revolutionized entire genres with their fresh, captivating gameplay. We crafted TimeMelters over the course of five years as an attempt to recapture the same awe we experienced way back then, as well as offer veteran gamers something new, challenging, and fun to chew on. We hope they have just as much fun playing TimeMelters as we had creating it, and look forward to bringing this time-twisting adventure to consoles later in 2024.”
