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.
