Plot[]

Chapter 1[]

The Doctor recruits someone to help her against a reality virus. The companion escapes a London laundrette, filled with incubated Hydrorcs, using the Doctor's sonic screwdriver she transmatted in the manager's office safe and calls the TARDIS, narrowly escaping a Dalek spaceship which detected the Gallifreyan technology.

Chapter 2[]

The companion then goes collecting three zeiton crystals to help the Doctor use a vortex manipulator to escape the end of time and deal with the reality virus. First, landing in a jungle which is revealed to be only one of over 2,000 environments of the spaceship SS Lucia Minor. Guided by the female voice of Emer, the companion goes to zone 7 to discover the ship abandoned, with hybernating Zlysters. In the cockpit, the companion discover that EMER was the lifesupport AI of the ship which became sentient after Zlysters changed into Tazmas, massacred the passengers and planned to escape the ship and be captured by the Shadow Proclamation to gain attention. Emer and the Companion change the course of the ship, take the Time Crystal from the circuits and get inside the TARDIS after it was transmatted in the cockpit, Emer being downloaded inside the sonic screwdriver.

Chapter 3[]

The Companion and Emer then go to Sir Manfred Grayle's home in late Victorian era London to get the Time Crystal from Magnus Greel's Time cabinet under it while escaping Weeping Angels. It is opened using the trionic lattice hidden in a gramophone.

Chapter 4[]

After the Doctor explains that the First, the original living being in the universe and creator of all other life, is responsible for the reality virus, the companion and Emer take the third and final crystal in the Temple of the First on Metebelis IV, a sentient planet invaded by Bronze Daleks trying to harness the power of the crystal. The companion manages to get through by getting inside and using a Dalek casing. They then use the three crystals to open a stone structure and reveal the TARDIS.

Chapter 5[]

The TARDIS has its interior deleted by the virus and by exiting it the companion arrives in the Inner Temple of the First and meets her. She explains her plan to kill the universe and rebirth its inhabitants better. The Doctor reveals that she lied to the companion: she did not need the crystals and planted them so that the companion could visit the locations so that they were the last to disappear since the First would spy on them. The Doctor met the First to try and failed to make her change her opinion of the universe. She then tells the companion to go to the visited location by thought while the universe is being destroyed to collect three disguised objects which actually are a Time Lord device created to put the First in a time loop.

Notes[]

  • In the Nintendo Switch version of the game, the textures are lower resolution and the colour grading is different, being much more neutral to its PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 counterparts; for instance, the Cyber-ship appears bright on the Nintendo Switch version, versus the other versions which are lit in a dark teal colour grade.
  • The First acts similar to Perpetua from the DC comics, where she created a universe and went "inactive". When she woke up, she displeased with what had become of the universe and decided to recreate it. The First's reality virus acts similar to Perpetua's godly power.
  • It's confirmed only Metebelis III is a dangerous planet, sitting between Metebelis I through IV.
  • The Doctor has been trapped without the TARDIS numerous times before[which?] and had to use others' help to get it back.
  • The Doctor once again[which?] makes the companion make a difficult choice since she doesn't want to do it.
