Reception Īccording to review aggregating website Metacritic, the PS3 version of the game received an average review score of 39 out of 100, based on 21 reviews. It is sure that the events in the Doctor's timeline are not after series 6 finale because The Silence tell the Doctor that one day he will find his doom, referring to Utah in 'The Wedding of River Song'. For the Doctor the game presumably takes place between 'A Good Man Goes To War' and 'Let's Kill Hitler' or after the events of 'The God Complex'.

The game takes place just before the events of ' Silence in the Library/ Forest of the Dead' in River Song's timeline as indicated by various notes within her diary as well as the use of her title of 'Professor'. The game had previously been confirmed for release on 30 April 2012, but was later postponed to. Players will encounter Daleks, Cybermen, Silurians, and the Silence. Along the way is decision making which leads to 'multiple possibilities' and puzzles. The plot is promised as allowing the player to take on the role of the Doctor and River Song as they travel across space and time in an effort to save Earth by gathering pieces of the eternity clock, an object that is a record of everything that has or will ever happen in all of existence. Similarly Alex Kingston returns to her role on the show as River Song. Matt Smith reprises his role as the Eleventh Doctor.
