Overview
Description

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.

Wicked Jester, a band of four musicians, stumble upon a cursed circus after a mysterious invitation, launching them into a nightmarish battle against twisted creatures. Based on Todd McFarlane’s Psycho Circus comics, the game blends horror, sci‑fi, and action in a fast‑paced shooter experience.
