Killing Time at Lightspeed [official site] is a quirky interactive fiction-type adventure game that was created for last year’s sci-fi anthology-inspired Antholojam. It’s…it’s hard to explain. Ostensibly, it’s a game about travelling on a spaceship where your only means of interaction with home is via social media. But the further you travel from earth, the longer the delay is between your messages – to the point where refreshing your homepage skips years at a time. Holding a mirror to modern culture, then, the game often dives into some pretty dark and somber themes as you uncover snippets of life in uncertain times. “Just how much can you affect other people’s lives with your fleeting interactions through social media?” asks the game’s blurb.
The game’s Enhanced Edition has just landed on Steam if you’re keen to find out.
