About This Game

Two high school underachievers must travel through time to recruit historical figures for their crucial history presentation, armed with nothing but a mysteriously appearing phone booth that bridges past and present. After encountering Rufus, a cryptic visitor from the future, Bill and Ted learn they can dial into any era and attempt to convince legendary figures—from ancient philosophers to military conquerors to Renaissance artists—to return with them to their California high school. The challenge lies not just in locating these historical personalities across different centuries, but in understanding what each one values and desires, whether it's flattery, food, music, or simple human connection, in order to persuade them to abandon their timelines. This arcade-action adventure demands quick thinking and resourcefulness as players navigate both the mechanics of time travel and the peculiar personalities of history's most notable names. Success requires mastering multiple difficulty levels while managing the increasingly complex task of assembling an unlikely ensemble before their school's decisive exam.
