The game follows the Eleventh Doctor and River Song as they travel through space and time to gather pieces of the Eternity Clock, an object that records everything that has or will ever happen. The story takes place after the Eleventh Doctor's introduction in series 5 but before the series 6 finale, as his impending death is still alluded to. Locations include the TARDIS, the Stormcage Containment Facility, and London across different time periods. Players encounter Daleks, Cybermen, Silurians, and the Silence.

IGN's Mike Bell scored it 5.5 out of 10, citing technical issues. Developers later released an update addressing bugs, AI issues, and adding additional save locations.
