Rewind
Hold the trigger on an object to play back its last five seconds. Scroll while rewinding to change the tape speed.
About
Work your way through a series of test chambers armed with a camera that doesn't take pictures: it rewinds them. Roll a cube back to where it was a few seconds ago, pin it in mid-air, and step between the chamber as it is now and the ruin it will become.
Whatever you leave in the past is still there in the future, worn down and waiting. Nothing you do in the future can change the past. Every puzzle is about what to set up before you leave.
Freeze
Stop an object dead in time, even halfway through a fall, then climb on it or release it when you need it.
Swap time
Jump between the past and its dilapidated future. You can't swap into a wall: the camera's screen flashes red.
