Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players looking for a long main story may find the roughly 2-hour route to the main ending brief
- Players who prefer a single fixed conclusion may not want to pursue a story with 15 endings
- Players seeking multiplayer gameplay may not find a fit in this single-player game
Our take on Future Proof
The pitch stresses a 12-minute loop and 15 endings, but the stated main route is around 2 hours; the 15+ hour figure applies to pursuing every ending. The larger play-time figure therefore depends on completion goals rather than the main ending alone.
What is Future Proof?
Future Proof is a single-player, top-down puzzle adventure set in Greensvale, where a meteorite threatens the town.
Playing as Sean, a boy who returns to an earlier point in time after dying, players explore the town, speak with its residents, collect items and clothing, and solve logic puzzles. A thought system records clues as players investigate what is happening and choose whether to focus on their own escape or the town’s survival. The game has 15 endings. Reaching the main ending takes around 2 hours, while pursuing every ending may take 15+ hours. Players can choose how much challenge to take on, and the story’s secrets unfold through exploration and decisions.
