The Sands of Time

Once in a myriad millenia the great hourglass turns, the cosmos begins anew, and the cycle commences again. So it should have been, for all eternity, but there was an intervention. And so the hourglass spins, unbounded, the universe leaps in great bounds from time to time, from the primordial chaos of the beginning, through all the wonders of mankind, to the deepness of the end. 

Through it all walks… you. The last god, the lord of time. Your hourglass was taken and subverted - you must take it back. 

You still have the sands - whenever you are in doubt you may ask a question of the sands: take a handful and let it run through your fingers, count the seconds until it has all passed through and find your answer. 3 or fewer means no, more means yes.

Explore time - from the distant past to the far future. Explore space, earthly and cosmic. Discover who broke the cycle, and why.

A tiny RPG for a single player with access to sand (or anything else that you can run through your fingers). The above elevator pitch is really the whole game - the files include a 16:9 mobile phone wallpaper (with GIMP layers intact so you can edit to fit your phone) which has the barest essence of the game as a reminder.
