A great game that uses time traveling as a key gameplay and plot device.

Games with time travel are very rare, there are a couple that come to mind.
Time splitters uses time travel in the plot and very little mechanically.
Achron is an RTS with time travel mechanics that's honestly the only game I've ever played that allows you to time travel freely. E.g. send a scout to the enemy base, he gets killed, so you go back and don't send him.
The Journeyman Project is an old game that seems fond to me, but I'm not sure how it would hold up now.
There’s an answer right there.
I’d like to remake Darkest of Days and let it live up to its potential.
Dan simmons Hyperion series.
Ski Resort Tycoon.. 3 I think? ... Lots of Tycoon games in fact. Think what could be done with them if they had a big budget nowadays
Id like to see a dark mirror series of star trek starting from 'evil' Spock sending the crew of the enterprise back to their reality. Following his struggles to convert the Terran Empire into the Federation.
I would like to see Star Citizen come to fruition like it was still the era where microtransactions didn't exist.
Iain M. Banks' Culture.
I'm deathly afraid of the day some big studio manages to buy the rights and produce a Hollywood version of the Culture. Mostly because it is very easy to flip through the Wikipedia entries and then take the superficial aesthetic of the Culture and misunderstand or ignore the rest.
For an example on how easy it is to do this: I remember vividly when the German translations of the later books came out, and they all had some variation of
The Culture is the galaxy-spanning empire of mankind. Unbeknownst to its citizens however, their supposedly benevolent machine gods are about to dispense with the needs for humans at all"
in the blurb. Someone scanned the wiki page until they read something about "superhuman AI" or the like, then went "ah, got it, I've seen Terminator".
In a similar vein, I cannot imagine that Hollywood would portray the Culture as an unquestionably good Utopia. They'd not be able to resist to paint the luxury gay space communists as "...with a dark secret / actually dystopian /..." tones.
I would fund a full release of the Divided States, especially if I could fund an entire series of alt history shows.
A live-action or animated adaptation of Worm.
Pump as much money as humanly possible into the JWQS / Clear and Muddy Loss of Love animation they're currently making.
Straight up entirely remake Borderlands 3.
A Pokemon game like Colosseum & XD, but only going up to Gen 4, I don't really like the direction the designs went after that.
Fund a proper Pacific Rim sequel.
A high budget Bionicle game would be neat.
And, provided I can pay money for a licence or just buy the original IPs, I'd have my favorite fanfics turned into animated shows as well.
A series of animated movies of the entire Malazan Book of the Fallen
Three Body Problem
