This game is being developed by Team Dorothy, a one-person game development team, and was released as early access on Stove on April 10, 2025.

Game Description (Brief Story)
A dark future where time travel is possible,
A time spanner who tries to rebuild civilization by overturning historical events.
A third-person shooter game that pits you against the Timekeeper as he tries to prevent a greater disaster.

How to play
At first, you just need to complete the mission shown on the left, and the level will be cleared when you eliminate certain targets.

How to operate
Arrow keys W, A, S, D
Disarm Tab
LCtrl to sleep
Interaction (Pick up) E
Roll C
Ladder Use C
Running: LShift
Weapon change: 1,2,3,4
Parachute: While in the air (middle mouse button)
Sliding: While running + C
Melee Attack: F
River Attack: F Long
Grappling Hook: Q
Jump: Space Bar
Climb high places: Space Bar while jumping

Customizable keys - arrow keys, interaction (pick up), running

Key customization is not possible except for the keys above.

Even the key settings that worked have a bug that prevents you from selecting the confirmation window in the screenshot above, and you end up having to give up because you can't exit the settings.

Left Project Dorothy, Right Stella Blade

Stella Blade, which I'm currently playing.. I brought a comparison shot because the ladder looks similar.

The graphics are broken during the strong attack of a melee attack and the kick motion during a normal attack.

Parachute performance..?!

Good points

...?

Regrettable Points
The graphics are so unclean that it could be considered a graphics bug.
It's hard to pick up the weapon you want when there are multiple weapons lying around.
Numerous serious bugs
There is only one mission at the moment, and it can be cleared in 1-2 minutes.
You can fly infinitely with a parachute
The grappling hook's movement motion is strange and the landing after use is strange.
When you die and come back to life, you can get hit by a snail and die again.
There is no convenience at all, key customization is impossible, and the keys are inconvenient to use.
Optimization issues that make it difficult to play the game due to severe frame drops even on 9800X3D
Inconvenience of not being able to use the mouse in settings and a bug that prevents you from exiting the settings window
A game that strangely consumes CPU and GPU between 3% and 95% to the point where it even stops recording programs.
A game that can be cleared in just 2 minutes of playtime is on sale for 48,390 won.
The early access period was supposed to last until May 30th, but it's now July and nothing has changed.
Playing impressions
Stop the enemy's plot to rebuild civilization by twisting historical events! 'Project Dorothy'
I started the game with high expectations, but the frame drops were so severe that I couldn't play the game, so I started off with a huge sense of disappointment.
Of course, I lowered all the options to the lowest, but the same frame drops occurred.
If you look at the minimum system requirements for the game, it says i5-4460 and GTX750 ti... but even my 9800X3D is not optimized.

(CPU and GPU usage when playing Project Dorothy)

I felt like the CPU and GPU were not performing well and the usage was fluctuating, making it difficult to run the game properly.
I was able to play the game after re-entering it a few times, but there was a problem where the frame rate would drop when facing multiple enemies, so it was difficult to clear the game just for fun because of the frame rate drops.
So if you play by only killing key monsters and destroying objectives, you can clear the level in 1~2 minutes... but how fun is that...?!
It should be fun to shoot a gun, but there's a strange light blur when you shoot a gun, which hurts your eyes and interferes with your vision, and the attack motion, parachute motion, grappling hook motion, and other motions feel like they were made too roughly.
When you complete the first three missions, a character like a companion appears, but it doesn't attack even if there are enemies nearby, and it only attacks when it gets hit by the enemy, but it's a disposable companion that dies to the enemy after a few shots. I don't know why it appears.
However, the graphics are not clean, and the strangely crowded interior of the carriage is unpleasant, and I don't understand why there are cement and steel pillars that don't fit the era, and the motion of climbing the ladder that doesn't fit the building is also sloppy...
It feels like the game wasn't made with the users in mind, but rather something was just created by throwing in this and that and then abandoning it.
I know it's hard being a solo developer, but I hope that no one abandons the games they've made.
It's a shame that the early access period that the developer said, May 30th, has passed and it's now July, but the early access hasn't ended yet and is still being neglected.
I thought I'd played a lot of crappy games, but this was the first time I felt like I couldn't see the answer or the future.
The biggest regret is that it would have been nice if the developer had at least done some kind of continuous update and optimization, even if it was late.
What will happen to this game in the future? The concept and background are interesting and good, but I hope that this game will not be abandoned and that everything will be renewed as the developer said so that normal play is possible.

The background concept is good, but the game is currently being sold for 48,390 won, which means it is not cost-effective and can be cleared in just one stage with a playtime of 2 minutes. It is not recommended at this point, as it does not provide a fun experience!
Even if it is discounted or given away for free, I don't think I can recommend this game as it is now, but I think it could change depending on how it is developed in the future so that it is not abandoned.
