It’s an amusing and surprisingly thought-provoking entry, poking fun at how we constantly find ourselves late for something.
Gameplay is generally straightforward and as far as I can tell, the story is largely linear. What the writing actually does is reminding us how it feels to be late, then poking fun at our (often) fruitless attempts to do better next time.
It’s a short but entertaining read, reminding us of one of our biggest challenges in life.
In Temporal Thief, you play as an otherworldly being, out to obtain everyone's most precious yet criminally mismanaged resource.
While the game is broken into two parts, it's actually quite short, with just 1-2 choices in each part. Completing the first part activates a hyperlink which automatically brings you to the second part (an interesting trick right there).
The writing was evocative and helped to convey the suspense and dark atmosphere. I finished both parts in about a minute or so, but it provided a short bit of fun.
