Time-cloning in a game (a-la Blades of Time)

First of all, hi, I’m MadRavenKillerInfinity, trying to make a game about my life in a fantasy type setting. I’m kickstarting it in Axis Game Factory (the Steam version) and as I script and build my game I may make a lot of threads asking questions.

Now, here’s something I wanted to experiment with: if you’ve heard of a game called Blades of Time then you know what I speak of when I say “time-cloning”. How would I script an action where you’d do whatever (run, jump attack, etc.) and then hold a button and reverse time, and then when you let go of that button a clone of yourself does whatever you just did, like the Time Clones in Blades of Time? I thought it’d be a neat thing to experiment with cause I wanted to use it for a boss battle. Please reply, thanks!

I will tell you that ‘rime reversal’ is a tricky thing to do - there are a few assets on the asset store that can help if you ‘replay’ certain activities - do a search (EZ Replay Manager
is one)
