    Alpha is alpha, and maybe Uber already have it on their list, so take this merely as a suggestion for future cosmetic improvement after the important stuff is done.

    I know there is the slider widget but I think the UI needs to be more obvious about showing that you're "stuck in the past man".

    Esp. since you can interact with ChronoCam via the keyboard, [Home] is already causing confusion about "vanishing" bases, and you can hide the slider while still back in time.

    Something like an extra border, maybe it could flash, our greying the viewing area out a little.

    Agree. Yesterday I played with dev mode functions and try to find all control keys... and have problem like "WTF what's that!" after I pressed on F1-F10. :D

    Film grain.

    Do it, Uber.

    We all know you want it. It'll be glorious.

    Same here - I wondered why my commander suddenly moved sloooower and slower - turns out I accidently activated chronocam in slowmo mode.
    A simple text overlay would do for now.

    Kinda hoping for a mod now which integrates harp sounds whenever you skip back.

    This'll make replays unbearable to watch.

    tbh I think that would be a great feature, I was in a game where for about 5 mins I thought my units were glitched but infact I was only 1 second behind in the past xD
