I'm sure you remember the time-travelling hipster photographed in

Time Gentlemen, Please! is a point-n-click adventure game with a style that harks back to LucasArts/ScummVM games like

I assume that such transportation would leave me with what I am wearing, what I know, and nothing else. Any advice would help."
