Except we do have reason to believe that it is that type of time travel, both other instance of time travel in the game, Alexander and Elpis/Pandaemonium both clearly have us traveling into the past of OUR timeline, impacting the past of said timeline, to me it makes no sense that one of the three instances of time travel in the setting would operate on a fundamentally different nature of time travel, crossing between universes instead of crossing through time, when it doesn't have to and nothing suggests it is from a different universe in a theoretical multiverse that as far as I am aware has never been hinted at.
