Spain-based indie developer GROUND Game Atelier announced their debut title, The Time I Have Left, as part of the Future Games Spring Showcase yesterday. Inspired by PS1-era adventure games, The Time I Have Left puts players in control of Aline to race against time - six real-time hours - in order to escape from the mysterious complex known as Colony 7. The gameplay is said to feature turn-based RPG elements.

​

The Time I Have Left is a time-driven exploration game with RPG elements and a big focus on storytelling. The player takes the role of Aline, a woman affected by a mysterious condition that marks her for certain death: The Miasma. Players will guide Aline in a race against time to escape from an enormous underground complex, Colony 7.

Key features of The Time I Have Left include:

• Stunning visuals – Dense environments rendered in a striking style bring the mysterious Colony 7 to life.
• Time-driven story and gameplay – The clock is always ticking. What will players do with the time they have left? Key events only trigger at specific times. Shortcuts, hidden stories, unique items, and other secrets lie in wait.
• Light and accessible RPG elements – Players will resist attacks from grotesque visions of death that assault Aline and will need to time their movements to evade the creatures that dwell in the liminal space.
• Knowledge is power – New abilities are unlocked as players complete the in-game database, granting more tools to deal with the countless unexpected scenarios in your path.
• Nostalgic flair, modern spin – The team at GROUND takes inspiration from classic games but breaks convention to create something completely original.

The Time I Have Left is slated for a 2023 release on PC and is available to wishlist on Steam.

This looks fairly awesome but it still depends on how it all comes together.

indeed, concept sounds interesting but it remains to be seen how well it's executed. There's still some time before we find out though!

I'm intrigued. Other than engaging, this also needs to be priced well and/or have insane replay value for a 6 hour (real time) game.
