Time Is Your Health
There is no life bar. No extra lives.
Your remaining time is your survival.

Abilities Cost Time
Every special move, power, and tactical advantage drains precious seconds.
Power comes at a price—and reckless play will erase you.

Strategic Arcade Gameplay
How you spend your time permanently alters the game’s difficulty, pacing, and enemy behavior.
Reflexes alone won’t save you, planning and timing are everything.

Each family of monsters comes with distinct attack patterns, weaknesses, and surprises keeping you on edge from the first mission to the last boss.

Adapt fast or get overwhelmed.
