Time Ticks By

Play as a classic noir detective trapped in his memories of trying to save the women he loved. Time Ticks By is a dialogue driven point and click where, through your interactions with low lifes, scumbags and femmes fatales (and Eugene) you discover the truth behind her disappearance, all before beginning the loop again.

Pieces of information are stored between loops in your journal, and your time remaining is shown in the stopwatch in the top right of the screen.

Click on people, doors and objects to interact. Only a mouse is required to play.

All code, assets and sounds were created in 96 hours for the 2025 GMTK game jam.

Special thanks to my mum for the piano soundtrack.

Below is a full playthrough incase you get stuck - but only watch it if you really need it!
