The Player

The player in Tower of Time is personified in the main character that is a noncombatant. After the initial introduction and before the walking tutorial the main character is no longer playable. While they continue to be a main plot device they no longer tend to directly participate with the heroes.

The game starts by exploring the tower as a boy, and you are introduced to the tower environment, but not the combat of the game. The boy interacts with the force that drew him into the tower and finds out it is a powerful mage. This mage gives him cryptic and ominous instructions and then sends him away.

While the player is technically the mastermind of the group they don’t participate in combat. Through mysterious magic of the crystal throne the player is able to stay at the top of the tower and witness and influence the exploration of the tower. The Crystal Throne lets the player see through his champions eyes and hear through their ears, even influencing the mental state and decision making process of the Champions.
