There Was Time Now

my favorite 'finish-in-an-afternoon' game in a while, if not ever
I like the theming, the UI looks really nice, and the play style is fun with a good plot

I retract my previous comment, I did not realize that getting enough automation speeds it up instead of just automating it.

beat the game with 207 days left and I have a army of 2524 undergrads working on physics now

so update on my attempt to beat the game after I died. uhm I sequence broke EVERYTHING worlds went 1,5,3,4,2 in that order and every world somehow unlocked the resources in the incorrect order as well I got device 4 first and then the others HOWEVER sadly the game prevented me from starting construction of any of the devices so my progress ended

so then I decided to see what the death message is but for some reason I can still make progress so imma see if I can beat the game while the time is run down

I forget where I played this game before. I liked it, but it was short.

Just beat the game in about an hour with 152 days left on the clock and really loved it! great work!

Managed with 173 days left.
Good thing you can hold enter when selling stuff and bribing people, made things much easier.
But who the hell am I selling loose packets of astronomy to? And why are they buying in bulk?

cool short game i had fun with the story

managed to speed through this one with 190 days to spare.. I'm not sure if anyone could do 200 days and if they would I'd be amazed. It'd be nice to have a difficulty scale going from easy which is default (1 year?) to medium which is 7 months to work which is 210 (or 213 if you like to add real life months) days and ending with 155 days left from one year, hard which is 6 months to work, 180 (183) days which would leave 185 days this would take most players second playthrough and insane for just 5 months and 10 days to work, 200 days left on the clock.
