The Generation GapWhat our critics say

A first-person shooter that leaned heavily into sci-fi horror and time manipulation mechanics. Set on a mysterious Soviet island, you gain a device that can age or revert objects and enemies, creating clever environmental puzzles and combat scenarios. While it might have been overshadowed by other shooters of its era, its unique time-bending gameplay, eerie atmosphere, and intriguing narrative offered a distinct experience that deserved more attention, becoming a favorite among those who found it.

Singularity was Raven Software’s forgotten gem, a first-person shooter that brilliantly wove time-manipulation mechanics into its gameplay and narrative. It had cool weapons, an engaging story, and some genuinely clever puzzles involving aging or de-aging objects. But it launched in a ridiculously crowded period, got minimal marketing, and just vanished. It highlights how even a genuinely well-made, innovative game can be completely overlooked if it doesn't have a massive budget behind it, a true shame.
