the past is alright, but it would be cooler to do something recognizable, like a roman city or Pompeii or something
setting the present in a carnival is weird. it isn't a very good representation of today, i would've thought a downtown city area would be better
future doesnt look futuristic at all. it just looks like a modern day research post.
great idea. i don't like the setup though.

I'm planning on a city for the present. Keep in mind that the "Future" is in fact hinted to not be that far ahead.

You know, it's rather unfair to throw thousands of years of history into one time. I understand it can't be comprehensive, but at least do two or three, for variation. Perhaps a Greco-Roman era, a Medieval era, and a Victorian era. Then, of course the present, and maybe a utopian and dystopian future, with utopian coming first.

Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads.

you should just allow people to do whatever, and then further allow people to attach time periods to other time periods
like do away with any formatting or railroading as far as 'what time periods you can use and what settings you can use' and let people make up the lore for themselves, then get rid of the lore that blatantly doesn't match up with the rest of the lore

I agree.
How about a general storyline, where there's a futuristic age (but not too futuristic), and after that there's lore of a great war that wiped out Earth. You use the keys to get into the rooms of the future to stop the war from starting and saving the human race.
