Our take on GOST of Time
Rather than treating time travel as a story device or a way to revisit locations, the game makes repeated actions its central puzzle structure. Each past version becomes part of the level, turning the player’s earlier behavior into both assistance and opposition.
What is GOST of Time?
In an absurd future governed by time regulations, an elderly man needs vital medication.
A government-approved device creates a clone and sends it through time to retrieve the pills. Playing as the clone, players bypass obstacles, confront challenges, collect artifacts from the Old Era, and solve puzzles. Each trip into the past creates another version of the character that repeats the earlier actions exactly. These overlapping timelines turn the clone into both a collaborator and an obstacle. The game combines top-down action with puzzle solving, pixel violence, dark humor, boss fights, and time-travel mechanics. The vendor states that the game can be completed in under two hours and includes free downloadable content.
