Our take on TIMEframe
Rather than following a long campaign or action-driven structure, the game centers on a 10-minute loop that invites repeated observation. Its slow-motion setting and location-specific music replace conventional progression with gradual discovery across brief sessions.
What is TIMEframe?
TIMEframe is a brief exploration game in which the world moves at a slowed pace.
Players visit the remains of a civilization nearing ruin, finding traces of its past and signs of intrigue in several places. Each location has its own music, with guitar, piano, and cello pieces composed by Clark Aboud. Its angular, polygon-based visuals recall console games from the 1990s, with newer graphical touches added. A playthrough lasts 10 minutes, and each loop includes discoveries that may take more than one session to uncover. The journey ends with an event that transforms the world.
