Make your choices carefully, because everything you start in Time Bandit will take time to finish--just like in real life. I'll talk about some of the many unique real-time game mechanics:
- Move boxes, grow trees, build bridges, and compact trash--and wait for them to finish.
- Different guard rotations and different consequences for getting caught during stealth gameplay, depending on the time of day when you play.
- A story that unfolds slowly through conversations that work like real-life phone calls. Characters will only pay you a call periodically to advance the story over the course of days and weeks of playtime.
- Your energy meter goes down while you play, and it takes up to 8 real-time hours of good sleep to fill it up all the way.
- Meet characters at the actual meeting times that you set with them.
- Dynamic music that changes with the hour of the day.
And I'll show off some of the new cutscenes revealing the game's anti-capitalist premise. In Time Bandit, you work as an independent contractor for a mining company, but when you discover they’re trying to take control of time in order to make you work for them forever, you start to steal back.
