"Featuring fun, logical puzzles that aren't too difficult to do, some whimsical humor and a time limit to keep you on your toes, Future Proof puts you into the shoes of a middle schooler named Sean, who is trapped in his town and is about to be incinerated by a meteor. The thing is though, he has the power to turn back time every time he dies..."
In the point-and-click adventure, Future Proof, you play as a middle school kid called Sean who happens to have some time-warping powers which allows him to go back in time (for exactly 12 minutes) whenever he dies.
This power comes in handy because Sean's town of Greensvale is about to be hit by a meteor the size of a football stadium, and unfortunately for him, he and a couple more people were accidentally left behind during the evacuation, and the only road to escape from the town was destroyed by a fragment from the meteor.
So, what can you do to either help Sean escape from town or save everyone else who's trapped along with him from the meteor entirely? This is what you'll be able to find out as you play each of Sean's "loops" (or as I like to call them time turnbacks).
So far, I'm really enjoying the puzzles in the game. They are quite straightforward in a logical kind of way and all you need to do is to be able to link up several interconnected items based on common sense. One example of a "puzzle" that requires you to explore neighboring homes for a plunger just so you can unclog the toilet in another house in order to get the Toilet Key. Like I said, the puzzles that I've encountered so far are really straightforward :)
Will definitely be adding more stuff here as I play more loops of the game.

Gameplay
Being a point-and-click adventure, you'll basically need to explore the town and pick stuff up as you go along. Note that everything that you can pick up (highlighted in yellow) will be used sooner or later, depending on the narrative path you're on. The game has plenty of endings for you to discover as you try to find a way to save Sean and, possibly, the entire town from destruction.So far, I'm really enjoying the puzzles in the game.
