Discover the real-time gameplay of Time Bandit

Make your choices carefully, because everything you start in Time Bandit will take time to finish--just like in real life. I'll talk about some of the many unique real-time game mechanics:

Move boxes, grow trees, build bridges, and compact trash--and wait for them to finish.
Different guard rotations and different consequences for getting caught during stealth gameplay, depending on the time of day when you play.
A story that unfolds slowly through conversations that work like real-life phone calls. Characters will only pay you a call periodically to advance the story over the course of days and weeks of playtime.
Your energy meter goes down while you play, and it takes up to 8 real-time hours of good sleep to fill it up all the way.
Meet characters at the actual meeting times that you set with them.
Dynamic music that changes with the hour of the day.

And I'll show off some of the new cutscenes revealing the game's anti-capitalist premise. In Time Bandit, you work as an independent contractor for a mining company, but when you discover theyre trying to take control of time in order to make you work for them forever, you start to steal back.

A Game That Takes Time

A dark life sim that unfolds slowly in real time, with an unusual combination of elements from idle, stealth, and puzzle genres.

Make your choices carefully, because everything you start will take time to finish--like in real life. You'll just have to go and do other stuff and come back later. This box, for example, will take an actual half an hour to finish moving:

Manage your money, fuel, and energy while slowly solving puzzles to collect time crystals and then pull off high-stakes stealthy heists. Steal back from the evil mining corporation that is trying to take control of time and make you work for them forever.

A Story of Political Intrigue

The first part of a story about life, death, fear, and revolution in a sci-fi capitalist post-apocalypse, told through lowpoly cutscenes and radio conversations inspired by early cinematic games.

Use the realistic radio to call characters anytime for dialogue about whatever situation you find yourself in and encyclopedic details about the world.

A challenge with real consequences: Don't get caught by guards or let yourself fall asleep, or you might end up stuck waiting it out in jail or the hospital.

Fixed camera angles in gameplay, just like in the old days. With a real-time day-and-night cycle and real-time weather tied to your location, to make the game integrate more with your life.

Plenty of playtime. It's a slow game!
