**Graphics (PLEASE READ!)**

The visuals for the game are currently placeholders only meant to vaguely represent the final product. They are this way so that I can make drastic changes to the gameplay based on community feedback, without having to redo a lot of the visuals. When the game is near done, I intend to completely revamp the visuals, giving it a distinctive and unique style that will fit the final product.

**Story**

A Hat in Time is a hack-n-slash action adventure game. It focuses around 'Hat Kid', a time travelling solo who crash lands on a new strange planet. The planet is cursed by the presence of the evil 'Moustache Girl', who uses her similar time travelling abilities to mess everything up!

It is now Hat Kid's duty to stop Moustache Girl from ruining the lives of the planet citizens, using her wits and her trusty time travelling umbrella.

**Time Branching**

The game features a unique time branching mechanism: while progressing in the game, the game will allow the player to discover multiple alternative storyline routes. However, some routes require weapons or items existing in other routes that wouldn't be available otherwise: time travelling allows Hat Kid to rewind time and grab all the stuff she needs, then go back to where she needs them. Think of it as a tree with branches.

**Features**

During the game, Hat Kid will be equipped with multiple weapons. Her umbrella allows him to slice enemies while being incredibly mobile. The umbrella is also capable of several advanced features such as identifying enemies and providing details of their weaknesses. The Hookshot allows him to toss enemies around, using it as a tool to swing across gaps and solve puzzles.

**Author**

A Hat in Time is developed entirely by Jonas 'Mecha the Slag' Kærlev, the creator of mods such as TF2Ware, Parkour Fortress, Advanced Weaponiser and partially Freak Fortress.

**Info**

The game is scheduled for full release around January. It aims to provide 5 hours of gameplay and priced at $1.

A Hat in Time is a 3D collect-a-thon platformer in the spirit of Rare and Nintendo games on the Nintendo 64!

Time is falling apart and it is the job of the brave interstellar-travelling solo Hat Kid to collect all the time pieces and put them back together! But watch out, you're in a race against the evil Mustache Girl, who wants to use time for evil!

The game mashes the best of Nintendo 64 platforming and gives it a modern twist! Not only can you navigate terrain using your own abilities, but you are provided with your trusty umbrella, which can be upgraded to provide a wide range of abilities!

A Hat in Time is split up into five story segments, "chapters", and each chapter is split into several missions, "acts". The chapters differ greatly, ranging from big cities to spooky forests, vast deserts, and even the moon!

In chapter 1 "Down with the Mafia", Hat Kid crash lands on a mountain containing a huge city, entirely infested by the Mafia of Cooks! Hat Kid will have to both defeat the Mafia of Cooks and save the city from drowning in super hot lava, all this while keeping Mustache Girl at bay!

In chapter 2 "The Subcon Forest", Hat Kid is on a mission to save the gloomy Subcon Forest! But it won't be easy, The Snatcher will be stealing your stuff, the Moonjumper will be mind-controlling everyone around you and Timmy will be getting in your way as he takes control of his living haunted manor!
