Deceived by the treacherous Vizier, the Prince of Persia unleashes the Sands of Time curse upon the Sultan's Kingdom. Equipped only with a sabre, a dagger that can rewind and stop time and helped by a princess, he sets out to undo the fatal mistake. With all the inhabitants of the once prosperous Kingdom turned into evil sand creatures and the entire palace infrastructure crumbling, it will not be an easy task.

As the title suggests, using the dagger of time the Prince can slow enemies, time and even rewind it in case of a misstep. The game focuses heavily on platforming, puzzles and fluid combat with detailed animations and gorgeous environments.
