You know, I remeber watching some kind of 'wtf is this weird game' type review of that game sometime ago.

I don't think it involves John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry, but yeah basically its like... a WW1 soldier, I think?, is 'killed' in the 'canon' timeline, and the literal instant before that, he is timefrozen, recruited by the timepolice into the timepolice, and is then deployed to various civil war (and other?) battles to ... unfuck some other kind of nonsense some ... basically timeterrorists are doing.

... Something like that.

Also, it is apparently now abandonware.

... I was gonna post a gif of Einstein shaking Hitler's hand and dematerializing him, from Red Alert, but I can't actually find any, and I can't find a screen record -> gif flatpak that works on Bazzite... no Wayland support.

... Do any of the TimeSplitters games go to the civil war? I don't remember.

Yep, that sounds about right.
