Overview
Description

Enter the fast‑shooting world of Insecticide as rookie Detective Chrys Liszt, a hot‑shot on a bug‑infested city mystery. Lead a team of insect‑powered allies, collect clues, and use inventive bug weapons to confront suspects. Explore a futuristic metropolis teeming with mutant insects, solve puzzles, and uncover a crime of epic proportions. The game blends point‑and‑click adventure, platforming action, and comedy for a unique indie experience.

Killing Time puts you in the shoes of an ex‑Egyptology student racing against a twisted patron to recover the missing Water‑Clock of Thoth. The game blends first‑person shooting with brain‑teasing puzzles, all set on a haunted island where ghosts, demons, and the undead roam. The narrative unfolds on the eerie Conway Estate, modeled after Boldt Castle, as you uncover Tess Conway’s sinister plans and battle the supernatural forces she unleashed. With a focus on strategic combat and clever problem‑solving, Killing Time delivers a horror‑filled adventure that rewards careful thinking as much as quick reflexes.
