❤ Deliberate Real-Time Progression

The game compels players to carefully plan and execute actions that unfold over extended periods, often 30 minutes or more in real-time. This slow-paced, thoughtful approach sets the experience apart from conventional games. Players must think ahead, strategize, and patiently wait as their in-game actions gradually progress.

❤ Multitasking and Resource Management

As players wait for their planned actions to complete, the game encourages them to multitask by working on other puzzles or managing limited resources like energy and money. This intricate balance requires players to thoughtfully allocate their time and resources to make steady progress. Players cannot simply rush through but must consider each move's long-term implications.

❤ Emergent Challenges and Consequences

The real-time system leads to unpredictable situations where players may inadvertently create problems for themselves by making a poor move, only realizing the consequences hours later. Recovering from mistakes or adapting to changing circumstances becomes a key challenge, creating a sense of tension and unpredictability.

❤ Blended Gameplay Mechanics

The experience seamlessly integrates puzzle-solving, stealth, and resource management elements. These components are tightly woven together, as players must utilize various skills to advance. The puzzles demand strategic thinking, the stealth sections require careful timing, and the resource management underpins the overall progression, resulting in a cohesive and compelling gameplay loop.

❤ Flexible Pacing and Player Agency

The deliberate pacing allows players to engage in short bursts, checking in periodically to execute their planned actions. This makes the game well-suited for players who want an experience that can be easily integrated into their daily routines. At the same time, the game affords a high degree of player agency, as they choose how to allocate their time and resources, and whether to cooperate with or subvert the game's systems.

❤ Atmospheric Presentation

The low-poly, retro-inspired aesthetic, coupled with the dynamic day-night cycle and changing music, create a distinctive atmosphere that complements the game's themes and gameplay, immersing players in its unique world.
