Overview
Description

Step into the shoes of Harman Smith, a man who houses seven distinct assassins, each with unique abilities and mindsets. Navigate a surreal, noir‑infused world where reality bends and every choice shapes the outcome. Your mission is to hunt down the enigmatic Kun Lan, unraveling layers of mystery, horror, and political intrigue as you blend shooting, puzzle‑solving, and adventure gameplay.

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.
