If you ever meet a genie who can fulfil your every wish, be careful what you wish for... because it might just end very badly.

After two run-of-the-mill wishes, Kevinus asked to explore the future! Great idea, except he forgot about coming back! Your mission is to help Kevinus, our young Roman lost in our time, to return home.
