Only thanks to the bundle ad, I stumbled over this gem and damn! was I surprised when I experienced the timeline switch the first time - I didn't actually read the games' description, so it really caught me by surprise. Last time I saw such an effect was when playing Giana Sisters - Twisted Dreams. Really well done!
