A frantic, cheeky rush where every second counts, blending classic RPG tropes with a wink and a timer that keeps you scrambling.

What players say

Players love the core concept of a 30-second RPG time loop, but strongly warn that you must switch to retro graphics in the settings to get the full, proper game. The modern art mode is widely panned for removing content and dumbing down gameplay. A few players report poor controller support and find the game repetitive.
