Em uma nave de transporte partindo da Terra, os passageiros rolam pelas mensagens de redes sociais enquanto aceleram rumo à velocidade da luz. Atrasos transformam respostas enviadas em minutos em horas, dias, semanas ou anos no tempo da Terra. Cada atualização da timeline revela vislumbres das vidas em evolução de amigos e contatos.
Essa aventura indie de ficção interativa gira em torno de breves trocas em redes sociais a bordo da nave. Os jogadores observam como essas interações fugazes moldam vidas distantes para melhor ou pior. Ela conquista fãs de experiências narrativas reflexivas que exploram o implacável avanço do tempo.
You never know what the last thing you say to someone will be.
On a transport ship leaving earth, a passenger kills time by scrolling through the messages of their social media feed. As the ship leaves and moves further and further away from home, the delay between sending messages and their arrival lengthens. What feels like minutes on the ship is hours, days, weeks, even years back on Earth. Each refresh of the timeline is a tiny window into the past. What will you do in those precious few moments as the lives of everyone you know pass by?
A critically acclaimed work of interactive fiction, Killing Time at Lightspeed allows players to experience life aboard a spaceship hurtling through lightspeed. Just how much can you affect other people's lives with your fleeting interactions through social media? And will it be for the better?
