Datura Time - Dive into a Retro-Inspired Digital Trip Filled with 3D Action and Suspense

Welcome to Datura Time, a third person action-adventure game that transports you to a mysterious realm filled with action, suspense, and intrigue. Imagined and developed by solo game developer Vladeta Stojanovic, this single-developer passion project invites you to explore a riveting world inspired by the 90's fifth-generation console games and infused with the distinctive aesthetics of post-Soviet and Eastern European style.

In Datura Time, the player is transported to an alternate reality, known as the "Zone", after they accidentally ingest a special drug called "Datura". During their time in the Zone, they meet different characters (some friendly, some not), who soon make it clear to the player that they are not where they belong, and that there is a whole lot more going on than meets the eye.

By interacting with characters, exploring the Zone and avoiding the dangers that come along the way, the player discovers that the Zone is kind of a limbo for souls of people from Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, and is being controlled by evil and sinister entities.

Until now, other mystical entities tried to fight this evil, but kept failing as they did not have a true hero who could help them. The players then assume the role of this unexpected hero, who must get back home again without getting killed, while attempting to get rid of the evil forces and restore spiritual equilibrium and order in the strange dimension where the Zone is located.
