You go after him, but something goes completely array, and Hoagie gets stuck in the past, and Laverne in the future. This is where the game really begins, and your now able to control all of the three characters. Here is where you need to have your thinking cap on, because what you do in the past, will effect the future. This sometimes makes the game complicated, but never beyond anything you can't figure out after some time. Graphically it's pretty, and sound wise it's OK. Fun gameplay, especially seeing the characters you affect change through to time.
