Time's a funny thing, isn't it? We've got so much of it and yet it never feels like enough. So many games are about time, and they've all got different ways of using it to motivate and manipulate players - but what's the underlying truth behind the way video games use chronology?
To find out, The Architect is going to have to go deep, deep underground to play with a little game called The Longing which, as the name may imply, is very very long indeed.

    Important point that was missed about time limits in arcade games - they forced players to play over and over to get good enough to just get to the next level, which meant... more quarters in the machine.

    Something you mentioned about Mass Effect 2: I think there's a grace period of 1 mission between getting the Reaper IFF and the Collector attack. I'd always get the device, go on Legion's loyalty quest, then proceed with the Joker mission. I never needed to make that choice.

    i am extremely dissapointed, in 237 years the internet is almost entirely wiped by an unimaginably powerful solar flare, 35 years later, Yugislov Travis actually manages to create a subviable network which is unaffected by the solar radiation, after everyone moves off world to live on the 16 countryships, social media slowly comes back to viability as the onboard farming systems make life easier, soon the social media websites known as TradeLedger, Stillbooth and funnily enough, Twitter, come to life, not only making intercountryship communication easier, but actually making extracountry communication available for the first time since 113 years ago when yugislov created what we now know as the internet, I actually met you slightly after this, as being an ageless superbeing, you're quite the celebrity at this point, seeing as you are one of the only living celebrities from before the great network collapse of 2257. despite this fact, i logged that you said this on a paperback journal just five minutes ago, and upon waking up in such a future where humanity has beaten senescence i found that when the day came to finally see the funny thing on Twitter in 3020... it was only very mildly amusing. i thought you were better than this.

    I remember, the first time I beat Minecraft survival I waited throughout the entire end screen because I felt I should've, my friends kept urging me to skip it because everyone's seen it before but I didn't listen.

    I’ll just say this, I love The Longing, because it was just something so different to everything and anything I’ve played before. Of course since my first playthrough, I have played a fair few games with similar ideas, themes and the similar type of calm exploration. I played it for about 10 weeks, but by bit, and part by part, and when i finally got the ending, I felt fulfilled, I may not have seen everything, I may not have done everything, but I did it my way, and it’s something that is very hard to find in other games. Good job on such a good game, that helped my adhd and anxiety, because I had the time in the game

    There was no greater feeling of liberation than when I was playing one of those dime-a-dozen town-building games on mobile, and I was hit with the revelation of how much of my time and energy was focused on playing I game I wasn't really playing. And that's fair enough when it comes to games that have a meaning, message, or payoff... but some of these games are just ad revenue generators for the devs. It's a double-edged sword, because games have probably never been as free and accessible as ever (this would've blown my mind as a kid in the 90s), but they can also take advantage of people's time and money in pretty cynical ways. It'd be curious to see just how many hours people have given up watching unskippable ads just to "enjoy" a few more minutes of passive gameplay.

    this is a really important message tbh. too many games want you to feel obligated to play for their bottom line, but it's your duty to yourself to guard your time and spend it on the things that genuinely please you. too many people sink time into games or shows that they hate. it's okay to cut something lose; you will 1000000% fill the ensuing void with something afterwards.

    One example not yet mentioned is The Last Express. An adventure game on a train that runs in 'real time'. You can't be everywhere at once, so you can miss things happening. Also, there are time limits on puzzles you're not even aware of - until it's too late. Fortunately, you can rewind time, allowing you to find that perfect path through the game once you've learnt about the schedules of other passengers on the train.

    I would say time moves faster when we get older because our perception of time changes. As a 10-year-old a year feels like forever, but its also 10% of your life. When you're 50, a year seems to go by really quick, but its also 2% of your life. Time doesn't go faster because we plan, but rather our perception of how much time is in a year gets smaller and smaller.

    It's not just that too. It's also because, relatively speaking the older you get the lesser fractions a day or a month become. Think about it when you are 10, 5 years seems like a lot because its been half your life. But when you are 50, it's just 1/10 of it. That's why things seem to become a blur the more you live. Then add onto that memory loss when you are even older...

    Imagine purposely setting a timer of 5 years from the time you close Stanley Parable just so you could get the achievement. 5 years later, the timer runs out, you click on "Play Game", and no achievement. You then realize that the game took around 3 seconds to completely close and so you opened the game a few seconds too early.
