comment
Vision Soft Reset is a 2D Metroidvania game by Mark Radocy. The main character is Oracle, a cyborg who can see the future. Oracle travels with her friend Wally to explore the mysterious Seudar Isle and study the Endoplanetary Shield, a device which prevents the planet's core from exploding. However, when they arrive, they discover that the shield is failing and is about to explode, requiring Oracle to use her future sight to explore different possible timelines to find a way to prevent disaster.Oracle's ability to see the future is integrated into the gameplay in several ways. Oracle can see enemy attacks before they happen, rewind short stretches of time to undo mistakes in platforming and combat, or rewind to her last Save Point to choose a different path through the game entirely, using the information she gained from the previous timeline. Powerups (stored as information in her suit) can also be brought back this way, meaning that Oracle can find a powerup deep in the caves, then rewind time to use it at the beginning of the game.

Mundane Solution: The Salesman is motivated by his inability to remember the past. Oracle asks if he's tried writing things down.

The Watson: Wally plays this role throughout the tutorial - as he can't see Oracle's visions, he asks some questions like "How did you know the code to that door?" that give Oracle a reason to explain how her time travel works.

comment
What the Fu Are You Doing?: Sherivice covers his eyes and attacks blindly to try and mess with Oracle's visions. The downside, of course, is that he can't aim. He ends up hitting himself in the face with his own attack.

Ontological Mystery: Hyperebas like Oracle can see about 30 minutes into the future, but can't remember more than 30 minutes into the past. Wally will occasionally reference something that Oracle did in the past, but for the most part Oracle's origins are a mystery.

Poison Mushroom: One powerup late in the game is actually a computer virus that causes Oracle to see floating black cubes that injure her. And since it's information rather than a physical item, the virus isn't affected by rewinds.

Mirror Boss: The final boss can rewind time just like Oracle can. He's also limited by Focus in the same way - he'll rewind the first couple of attacks you land on him, but eventually he'll stop doing that and you can start to do damage.
