About

Time is the enemy here: a crisis is closing in on the city, and every day you don't spend digging for answers is a day closer to running out of them. The mood stays tense rather than breezy, more countdown than sandbox stroll.

Something is buried under the city, and uncovering it means working with the companions you pick up along the way rather than going it alone. The story unfolds in pieces tied to what you do and when, so the truth only comes together if you actually use your time well.

Play revolves around splitting each day between exploring the city freely and managing what limited hours you have left before the clock runs out. Training grounds and turn-based fights give you something concrete to grind toward, and the choices you make along the way branch into different endings rather than funneling everyone down one road. Voice work backs a fair amount of it, which is more effort than these sandbox time-loops usually bother with.
