Social Media Text Adventure Set In Space Available For PC, Mac And Linux
On a transport ship leaving earth, a passenger kills time by scrolling through the messages of their social media feed. As the ship leaves and moves further and further away from home, the delay between sending messages and their arrival lengthens. What feels like minutes on the ship is hours, days, weeks, even years back on Earth. Each refresh of the timeline is a tiny window into the past. What will you do in those precious few moments as the lives of everyone you know pass by?
The original Killing Time at Lightspeed was created for the 2014 Antholojam, a series of games inspired by the Golden Era of science fiction. Of the 15 games created by teams from around the world, Killing Time at Lightspeed was notable for being similar to a social media timeline, where the story plays out faster than you can act. It was designed to explore the connections we all have to people online who we may be powerless to help except with our words.
Killing Time at Lightspeed: Enhanced Edition expands upon the original game with an all-new soundtrack by Matt Hamm, art by Marigold Bartlett, as well as additional stories and articles to help expand the social media world you explore as you travel throughout time and space.
Killing Time at Lightspeed: Enhanced Edition is available now for PC, Mac and Linux on Steam, and the Humble Store.
