How it feels

A frantic, puzzle-like shooter where you frantically freeze time to manipulate robots into a comedic cascade of destruction.

What players say

Players describe Time Hacker as a short VR puzzle game that feels like a mix of Superhot and Just In Time Incorporated, with a satisfying time-slow mechanic. However, many warn it is in early access with no apparent updates since 2025, and the menu is buggy. The game can be completed in about an hour, leaving some feeling it is not worth the full price.
