The Saviour of Time (video game)

The Saviour of Time was an interactive six-part video game released on Skype on the 3 May 2017, with the 5 following Saturdays releasing the 5 following parts. It would see a Doctor Who Bot connect to the accounts belonging to the users of Skype to find the Key to Time.

Synopsis
Every few hundred years the Key to Time needs to be found again and reassembled to restore peace and balance to the universe. Now that time has arrived once again. Connect to Skype and help the Twelfth Doctor find the Key to save the universe.

Part 1
The Doctor connects with a human, whose help he requires in saving the world. He asks for its name, and accepts the first word that the human says as the correct answer. Bill and Nardole are present on the TARDIS with the Doctor. The Doctor informs the human that they need to use a Tracer to find the Key to Time, a powerful device which can be used to balance the universe, but is split into several pieces. The Doctor promises that when they get through with this they'll be able to visit other locations, such as the Fifth Galaxy (with purple stars and moonbeams made of marzipan).

Going down a list of potential planets in the solar system with the human (Mercury and Venus), the Doctor eventually narrows down the segments location to somewhere around Neptune. Certainly not on Neptune (as the planet isn't exactly solid) but instead on one of its moons; Triton.

The Doctor asks the human to help type the coordinates to Triton, with the final code being 5, 6; 3, 5; 8, 11; 847, 851. The Doctor leaves Nardole and Bill in the TARDIS, as he drives onto Triton's surface on a buggy. The buggy no longer has a steering wheel (due to a fiasco where the Doctor's needed to make a crown for a frog princess), and the human must drive it from 2.7 billion miles away. The Doctor begins to hear a noise near a ravine, a troublesome occurrence as nothing has ever been recorded as to live on the moon.

Moving north despite interference with the signal, the buggy eventually enters an emergency mode, which reveals the true presence of the first segment of the Key. The buggy soon stops being able to move, stuck in something that begins to melt through its tires. The Doctor ejects, accidentally dropping the Tracer for the Key to Time in the same substance. In his last chance to escape, the Doctor uses a personal Vortex manipulator to return to the TARDIS, not knowing if the presence of a piece of the Key to Time will disrupt his travel.

The Doctor returns to the TARDIS and dematerialises, soon witnessing the piece of the Key transform. Celebrating with the human, the Doctor soon realises that Nardole and Bill have totally disappeared. Shocked to learn that they are not with the human, he tracks their artron energy back to Earth, where he heads to look for them.

A side transmission from another unknown user reminds the human to "remember, remember the fifth of..."
