Singularity

Singularity starts out in the year 2010 and pits you, as a pilot, on a mission to see what's going on at an island filled with an experimental history. The Soviets have had some fairly twisted, but intriguing, experiments going on for quite some time there. One key factor to the game's storyline is element 99 (or E99), the fictional 99th addition to the period table of elements (which would have been added around 1950, hence it being the 99th entry). Said element is capable of taking in energy and spitting out 100 times the power that was put into it. This raw power comes with a few side-effects, however, one of them being time manipulation, for better or worse.

When your plane nears the island, it begins to go haywire and you wind up crash-landing on the island. When you take over, your main objective is to simply find your copilot. Obviously, that task doesn't simply turn out to be a game of Marco Polo.

Very early on in the game you'll acquire a device known as the TMD, or Time Manipulation Device. This contraption, which looks to resemble a glove fitted with a large wrist mechanism, is capable of manipulating anything that has been affected by E99. In terms of gameplay, this means that your abilities won't work on every single object in the game, which makes perfect sense from a design standpoint as it would cause even more logistical problems than a game with 100 percent destructible environments would.
