We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- RPG players who want a short, self-contained campaign
- Strategy fans who enjoy planning around fixed dice outcomes
- Players interested in time loops and fourth-wall-breaking storytelling
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a long-form RPG will reach the end of the main experience in roughly 20 minutes
- Players wanting open-ended exploration or many extended combat encounters may hit the game's compact final-battle structure
- Players who dislike replaying a scenario to use remembered information may bounce off the defeat-and-return loop
Our take on Time Glitch
The bounce point arrives after the first defeat: progress resets to the dungeon entrance, and the player must apply remembered dice results rather than explore a new area. Anyone expecting a broad campaign may also stop at the roughly 20-minute completion point.
What is Time Glitch?
Time Glitch is a short tabletop RPG set during the closing battle of a campaign against an undead king who controls time.
Each defeat returns the party to the final dungeon entrance, while memories of previous attempts remain, including the numbers produced by individual dice. Players use that knowledge to select routes, cast spells, and attack strategically. Decisions affect both the fate of the game world and the relationships within the party. The experience takes about 20 minutes to complete, or around 1 hour for players seeking all endings. It also uses fourth-wall-breaking humor and a story-within-a-game presentation.
How Time Glitch plays

- 02Time-Loop Structure
- Failure sends the party back to the dungeon entrance instead of ending the campaign.
- 03Party Relationships
- Character decisions influence the bonds between members alongside the fate of the world.
- 04Multiple Endings
- A complete playthrough takes roughly 20 minutes, while finding every conclusion takes about 1 hour.
Time Glitch compared to similar games
Time Glitch combines a short tabletop RPG format with a reset loop built around remembered dice outcomes. Shogun Showdown instead centers on turn-based positioning, attack tiles, skill acquisition, and deck construction, while Back to the Dawn focuses on prison survival, investigation, and escape. These alternatives provide broader combat or narrative frameworks than Time Glitch's single final-battle scenario.
