The dialogue in the game makes it clear that all the characters are there at once, and the player simply chooses characters for the gameplay itself since having everyone fighting at once would be unwieldy.

- Going by what Digifiend says above, you can play as either the Tenth or Eleventh Doctor. Therefore, the story for each user's game experience will be different. That puts this game into the same group as stage plays, Decide Your Destiny and similar books and in-universe websites. Content that changes from day to day or from user to user doesn't make for a narrative story, by this wiki's definitions. Shambala108 ☎ 18:01, August 28, 2014 (UTC)
