Beta Timeline

Timeline Beta The Beta Timeline is the main setting of ACT II in No Time story.

Background
In the Beta Timeline Mr. Crimson took over Pine Island to test the plans of The Great Leader in order to dominate and destroy the entire world. In game, this timeline is a very dangerous place to be. The sky is dark and cloudy, and decoy power plants are polluting the island.

Pre-2000s
This just looks like the Alpha Timeline. It goes from N/A to 1995. Crimson is elected as the town's mayor as he builds the island's trust.

Post-2000s
The sky is dark and cloudy, and the so called ATMO Exchange is polluting the island. All the trees are dead. To add to this, you can't access the city from the outside, and vise versa. This goes from 1995 to 2019. The pivotal date is 2019, the year the player gets introduced to the Beta Timeline in ACT II. Pine Lake has also been renamed to City 1 and it is among one of the towns that have been conquered by Crimson.

Beta Timeline chip
To access the Beta Timeline in Free Mode and The Epilogue, there is an override chip called "Beta Timeline" which can be inserted into the Time Machine. When time traveling with this chip inserted, you will arrive in the Beta Timeline no matter which timeline it started in. After completing Act 3, its blueprint can be found in the top room of the Safe House.

Trivia

The tower is also a reference to the Citadel from the game Half-Life 2, as well as the design of City 1 itself. It is also a reference to Isengard from The Fellowship Of The Ring.
 * Travelling to a date past the point where the temporal bomb was launched, will result in an instant death.
