Additionally, the game details on the website states:

This means Recompile will offer a dynamic storyline whose outcome depends on the play style and decisions of the players. Furthermore, the site also includes-“The game’s entire narrative takes place within 1 second of realtime”. Whatever that means, maybe a time manipulation mechanic; we can only guess.
