REVIEW : Timewell: Trail of Celestes (PC)
The first game in the Timewell Universe, where the space-shooter genre mingles with narrative-driven gameplay and space RPG, is called Timewell: Trail of Celestes. A 4 DOF (4 degrees of freedom, the ship moves on the horizontal plane) gaming type was carefully chosen since it is ideal for big audiences and has a higher level of fun. As the A.I. SAT-V, the player pilots a Vulcan class space fighter. SAT-V is an artificial intelligence that has its personality and the ability to adjust its capabilities and adapt to different levels of difficulty. To lead SAT-V to her destination, use your discretion and skill points!

The Story
The world experienced a severe crisis of resources, pollution, and an unequal economy in the year 3099. The ultimate artificial intelligence with a personality was developed by governments under the leadership of Megatech to expand their influence throughout the galaxy.
The most recent artificial intelligence research, known as SAT-V (Super Adaptive Tech), was created to conquer dangers with unmatched cleverness and firepower.
As SAT-V struggled to locate a planet with just the right amount of resources, it received a puzzling signal from an unidentified source near Titan.
When SAT-V arrived at its target, it came across a portal, a huge hole in spacetime. It made the risky jump and took the first step in human history without hesitation.
After the spacetime jump, SAT-V experienced an unexpected realisation: a mysterious force emerged from her cerebral nexus and assumed control of her virtual personality. The creature offered SAT-V a variety of duties to complete to go to the destination, where humanity will be rewarded by supreme beings known as Celestes while giving little knowledge about its origin.
This game is great. It was a fun game. Despite not being a huge lover of shooting games, this one has an intriguing plot. I felt as though it drew me into the game and encouraged me to play more. Learning to use the controls is simple. My only complaint is that I couldn’t locate the key to skip the dialogue or the introduction. The Celeste guy is excruciatingly sluggish, but I believe the devs put a lot of work into it and want you to enjoy it as much as possible. You achieve one goal, but the next goal arrives a little later.
