I loved everything about this. I wish there were more to come but since it was just a school project that won't be happening. Great job though!

Making a new game :) 

Oh great! I'm looking forward to it!

I got my video claimed, better mute the whole soundtrack before uploading your video.

It would be cool if there was a full-fledged ending here after refusing a woman...

"Do you have a minute to spare?"

"No, actually, I really don't."

i love this pun

i enjoyed this but when i shot the dude the first time i decided to wait for him to die and then walk out dramatically as he collapsed behind me, but then i ended up stuck walking backwards into the stage, so. that's a thing.

This was AWESOME, the art style and general concept is something so unique! Very well done

really enjoyed this, great story, great atmosphere, would love to see more!

This was just gorgeous. Well done!!

This is a beautiful game. Incredible job - I'd love to see more!

I started playing the game and I was loving it, but then when I decided I had played enough for the day I decided to quit the game and when I opened it the next day all my progress was erased and when I checked there was no option to manually save the game. I tried again multiple times but it ended w the same result. It is such a pity. Maybe the problem is my pc but idk how that could have happened. If anyone has any advice, please it is very welcome!

Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, there's no save option as this is a short twenty minutes game. A workaround to skip to next level would be this -Press the numeric key 0 and hit the F key to change the scene.

There will be one for the next one I'm creating :) 

Oh! I see, thank u so much! I'll find the time to finish it in one go. I'm make sure to try ur new game as well when it comes out, I'm sure it will be just as awesome.

Awesome idea! Feels like it really has been happening in 1960s 

 

I'm glad I got to play this game this year and hope you all have a great Merry Christmas

My experience on Linux after get exit from the office, its force close

Finished the game! I am so amazed by it! I really loved the overall atmosphere and design. 

I liked the Pixel Art and the game design is amazing :)

Tried it in Linux. I see the office. Thats great! A year ago all was dark!. But when i try to get out of the office i see dark. 

Stunning game with a neat plot, inspired me so much as a game development student

omg this is so cool. I LOVE PIXEL GAME AND THIS IS PIXEL AND 3D? nothing can possibly be cooler than that to me. The visual is pretty to look at. The lighting along with the piano music gives me a sense of comfort. I wish I could play more of it.

We had been wanting to play this on the channel for awhile now, the concept of a world built on time-based lifespans is horrifying. The art style is really impressive and I loved the look of the world visuals! So glad we finally got around to checking this out :)

Man the visuals and sound design is amazing. Can't wait to play the next game you put out.

Woah!

Great game :)

A brilliant student piece, cannot wait to see what this team gets up to as professionals!

If You Liked The Movie In Time Play This Game Trust Me You Will Love It, Expect A YT Video Soon ;) 

What a fantastic game. The atmosphere is excellent. Using the same premise, you wouldn't go wrong to evolve beyond simple pixel art. With the resources this involves, you could also expand the story line with minimal effort, thereby increasing gameplay time. ;-)

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep this game going.  It's literally one of the most if not the most unique games I've ever played.  BRAVO!

Bug: Game uses excessive CPU and GPU due to unlimited FPS trying to run as fast as possible.

Workaround: If possible use your GFX driver to limit the game FPS to 60 or lower eg. film/TV speed of 30 FPS.
For ATI/AMD owners this is the function named "Radeon Chill".
Due to the type of game this is there is no benefit of high frame rates, as the game still runs smooth, and your fans are quieter.

This game is really very nice and polished, and I highly recommend it, but lacks a few polished-package touches like screen size and mode (Unity can offer the default config window at the start. No shame in using that). A minor gripe but does affect the amount of users that can play it.
The lack of being able to set the volume in the game is my most frustrating issue due to how ear burstingly loud it is compared to the rest of the desktop audio (eg. people in voice chat).
It is lovely audio and production but I'm not sure the people living next door appreciate it as much.
However, again there is a workaround by locating the game in the volume mixer for your operating system and set it there.

Dev Tip: From a game dev point of view, it is very common for people to overlook the menu page being as resource hungry as the actual game.
Unless there is a good reason not to, it is always worth using a stricter FPS limit on the menu pages or when paused (this is sort of what Radeon Chill does).

I just started the game, its look beautifull!

I just have two problems :

1) we can't remap the control key :( (azerty keyboard)

2) The game turned black after enable v-sync, i still see the menu (I am on linux).

I saw a TikTok about this and I knew I had to play it when I got a PC. The time has finally come, and I love this so much dawg. It's so beautiful. I wish I could explore more of the world. You also put The Last Night on my radar with this, so thanks for putting me on. Take all the time you need, but please make more.

Let me get to it!

Reaction: 

Revive : Yooo i from where should i start...First of all Its a really beautiful game. Loved the pixel art with the Volumatrics.

Loved the story. I always have this issues with other games that they are not long enough. i thought the same for this game in first place cuz i thought it looks really Good but wont be long enough BUT the Game is perfectly Long enough.

I'm Pretty sure u got the idea of the game from movie In Time starring Justin Timberlake

Thanks for this amazing game

(+1)

I love the art style! The art style is amazing and I love the concept.

Amazing job!

(+2)

Really good game for a university project. The art style is honestly stunning. The story has an interesting concept, and I would love to see it expanded on in a full game. The shooting is nothing to write home about, but superb job overall!

Oh, and I don't want to be too critical, but I was slightly disappointed when I accidentally triggered the "bad" ending. I feel like that choice could have been made more clear.

Hi, which game engine did you use?

unity3d,This icon is displayed in the game folder

Games like TimeOut are a thing of beauty and are an excellent display of what pixel art can do, especially with the right lighting effects. The rough edges add to the grittiness of the world while also providing extra depth to the environments you traverse. I've always been a big fan of 2D elements in 3D worlds and this did not disappoint.

Great job, dev. This could totally be turned into a full length game.

In Debian 10 , in the game menu i see only play and quit, no settings. When i hit play i hear music but the screen remains black.
