On a transport ship leaving earth, a passenger kills time by scrolling through the messages of their social media feed. As the ship leaves and moves further and further away from home, the delay between sending messages and their arrival lengthens. What feels like minutes on the ship is hours, days, weeks, even years back on Earth. Each refresh of the timeline is a tiny window into the past. What will you do in those precious few moments as the lives of everyone you know pass by?
A critically acclaimed work of interactive fiction, Killing Time at Lightspeed allows players to experience life aboard a spaceship hurtling through lightspeed. Just how much can you affect other people's lives with your fleeting interactions through social media? And will it be for the better?
Hi All,
A new build has been uploaded that hopefully fixes a lot of the problems that were occuring with achievements, and the game not running on some platforms. The game's libraries have all been upgraded to the latest versions, and should be talking to eachother nicely. The game has been tested on all platforms, and seems to be running fine, exiting correctly, unlocking achievements and showing the steam overlay.
Patch notes:
Some minor content updates, including
- properly rendering links in a reply
- properly rendering hashtag links in Julius's messages
The "cyberpun" achievement should be activating consistantly when the player selects the "keep it going" dialogue option.
A "Settings" menu has been added to fulfill requests by some players, it allows you to toggle between full-screen and windowed, and change the zoom level
The Log out button has been moved to the top right, replacing the "estimated arrival date" which some players found confusing.

I've just published a patch that should fix the issue with links in news articles, as well as:
- some minor spelling fixes
- potential fix for the game not closing correctly on mac
- fixed two achievements that weren't being triggered correctly
- fixed some messages that weren't nested correctly
There was a few hours in-between patches tonight where the mac version wouldn't load correctly. It seems to be running fine again now.

There is a small but critical bug in Killing Time at Lightspeed, please don't click the links inside news articles. It may restart the game.
Currently figuring out if it's ALL links, or a specific one (all users who've reported this bug have said it happened on the same article).
I'm really sorry if you hit this bug. Should be patched in the morning!
