About
A civic rail terminal is required by statute to keep every clock within eleven seconds of each other, which is not the same as keeping them correct. Juno Fisk, 34, is the clockmaker who reads the master dial honestly. Piero Rane, 38, is a transit lawyer and Juno's partner. Ada Lune, 58, is the station agent who signs every time change. When Juno advances the master by one minute to test it, a train arrives on no timetable, carrying passengers whose departures were signed rather than chosen. Piero's perfect alibi for that night is built from the same eleven minutes. Across a compact three-act route, the player decides what evidence to preserve, what to disclose, and how to remain close to Piero without spending an old promise. Three endings reopen the terminal's accounts with a public count, with sealed testimony and a public method, or only after every affected passenger signs a new charter, and each one asks Juno and Piero a different question about the present.
