Indie studio from Barcelona, Ground Game Atelier, is running a Kickstarter campaign for their highly promising RPG, The Time I Have Left. This narrative-driven, exploration RPG, which draws inspiration from classic JRPGs and survival horror games, has just unveiled a new trailer at The MIX Fall Showcase. Alongside this reveal, the studio announced the release of a new demo on Steam.
Set in the mysterious Colony 7, The Time I Have Left follows Aline on a high-stakes escape. Players will explore a richly crafted world, encounter challenging enemies, and engage in the game’s unique turn-based combat system, which adds an active twist to traditional mechanics. The demo offers approximately two hours of gameplay from Chapter One, culminating in an intense boss fight, giving players a glimpse of the intricate narrative and gameplay mechanics at the heart of the experience.
The Time I Have Left has already garnered significant interest, with over 24,000 wishlists on Steam. Ground Game Atelier has also achieved notable milestones, including receiving two Epic MegaGrants and showcasing their work at the Indie Arena Booth for three consecutive years. The Kickstarter campaign seeks to rally community support to bring The Time I Have Left to fruition, as the game is currently over halfway complete. Stretch goals aim to expand the game’s scope, including ports to all major consoles, additional enemy types, and new areas for players to explore; below is an overview and a new trailer.
Left as the seemingly sole inhabitant of the enormous underground city of Colony 7, Aline is suddenly marked for death by a mysterious phenomenon known as ‘The Miasma’.
