Beyond the next

As you arrive at the facility, you hear stories about the place. They say that people who were believed to be old or even dead return still young, as if time itself does not move there. You and your comrades exchange similar rumors, each one echoing what others have heard before. Soon after, your team is given a classified file that explains everything. Your mission is to travel between different worlds to study and conduct research beyond the known universe over a period of forty days. You are warned that this mission is extremely dangerous only the best and most creative are expected to survive. Time does not flow equally in every world. In some, it moves faster than in your own; in others, it slows to a near standstill. This distortion explains how people born in the 1980s can still be alive today, unchanged by age. You are given one final warning: if you go missing or die in any of these worlds, your entire existence will be erased.
