FIGHT THE PAST TO SAVE THE FUTURE. STOP THE SINGULARITY.
Learn the truth behind a massive cover-up of the catastrophic SINGULARITY, an event that fractured time and threatens the world as we know it. Armed with powerful, advanced weaponry and the experimental Time Manipulation Device, fight enemies from the past, the present, and abominations caught somewhere in between.
TIME IS YOUR WEAPON
- Use the TMD – Time Manipulation Device – to change the age of objects and enemies and bend time to your will.
- Age enemies to dust in seconds, manipulate objects outside the laws of gravity, and degrade objects to a withered state or renew them to their pristine form.
- Unlock upgrades to harness the TMD’s full power and expand your full arsenal of advanced weaponry.
EPIC SCI-FI ACTION THRILLER
- Heart-pounding, first person combat action that immerses you in a world where the past and present collide.
- Travel seamlessly between two eras – 1950s Russia and modern day – each rendered with stunning lighting, physics, and effects using the Unreal 3 Engine.
UNRAVEL THE CONSPIRACY
- Traverse the blur between the past and future in order to stop the mysterious SINGULARITY that threatens the world.

I bought this game years ago for PC on DVD. Now that I see it on sale on GoG, I bought it again. I remember this game vividly. It was developed during a time when story mattered as much as the gameplay. It holds up well after all these years. I look forward to playing it again. If these things matter to you, then buy and play it. One of my favorite all time FPS games.
I’ll level with you: ironically, I did not expect this game to be much of a singularity among other shooters of its era. I thought it would be a fun but forgettable experience, and the first few minutes of gameplay indeed seemed to confirm I was once again about to play through the adventures of some grunt who can’t carry more than two guns or sprint for more than ten steps.
Yet, the more I played Singularity, the more I became impressed by how fun and well-made it was.
Once the plot is truly kicked in motion when the hero is given a cool timey-wimey device, Singularity becomes a memorable romp where you’ll dispatch a respectable variety of enemies in badass ways: in additions to your regular shotguns and rifles, you’ll get to headshot monsters in slow-mo, throw explosive barrels like it’s nothing, and even have enemy soldiers rot away in seconds!
Not just that, but the game’s world is full of smart design choices that guarantee a much more engaging experience than your average cover shooter. Your powers will often come in handy to solve puzzles, and despite the linearity of the campaign you’re encouraged to take your time to explore each location -both to upgrade your character and to remain stacked on resources. No regenerating health here: you’d better start looking for medkits!
I can’t say I found Singularity’s gameplay to be spotless though. Every action is animated, which often breaks the flow of the combat. I’m not a fan of those weapon “upgrades” that should have been here from the get-go. And while the novelty guns and offensive powers are fun to fool around with, the basic assault rifle is almost always the best and safest option.
In the end I’d absolutely recommend Singularity, which runs well on modern computers (though there’s no built-in way to adjust the terribly low FOV). If you enjoy smart, atmospheric shooters like Doom 3, Half-Life 2 or F.E.A.R, have a shot at what was arguably the last of them: it’s just the right length, and a ton of fun.
Honestly, I liked it a lot just by the nature of the subjects it touches on. Sadly, none of it's fully realized and ends up feeling rushed.
The difficulty settings feel wrong in both normal and hard options, specially with an end game that feels easier than the first couple of levels.
Story is pretty inconsistent, although quite interesting.
The main protagonist fall flat and may as well be silent the whole game. The "quantum messages" in the walls are a great touch that amount to almost nothing at all.
The gauntlet is by far the biggest dissapointment since all you do is age and de-age boxes most of the game.
It may overall seem like a bad game. However, never have I tried so hard to find secrets, easter eggs and scrapped so hard to find collectibles or anything that could help me understand better a game... Sadly I found out a couple months later the history behind the game and its developer. I can only enjoy what we've got while wondering what could've been.
This is an awesome game that didn't get to shine.
If youre looking for Bioshock like/lite this is your game. short and sweet. fun and spooky. great for someone wanting to get creative ideas or juices going for their own project. Raven soft is al always top teir and with theyd return to greatness.
