Worlds in Time (video game)

Worlds in Time is, according to its own trailer, "the first-ever multiplayer online game" in the history of the Doctor Who franchise. It's also the first game in the franchise developed by an American company, and the first to be financially supported through. San Francisco-based Three Rings won the contract to make the game from publishers, BBC Worldwide. After enjoying a lengthy public preview period which began on 20 December 2011, the game officially shipped on 13 March 2012.

Synopsis
The players will follow in the Doctor's footsteps, travelling through time and space, exploring alien worlds and encountering various species, and helping the Doctor save civilised cultures from various threats.

Gameplay
Worlds in Time is a multiplayer online game in which the players solve various puzzles and challenges in a multiplayer environment. Although free to play, many of the things needed to progress in gameplay require chronons, the in-game currency that regenerates at the rate of one every half-hour until the limit of 50 is reached. This limit can be exceeded by purchasing more with real money.

The game also has a purely social aspect. According to a BBC spokesman, the game "offers players a multitude of elements and opportunities to socialise ... our goal is to become the largest Doctor Who community ever assembled."
