Killing Time At Lightspeed

About

Killing Time at Lightspeed is a bite-sized visual novel that follows a space traveler trapped in a time distortion. While one minute passes for them, years fly by on Earth. With nothing but a handheld device to entertain them, the protagonist scrolls through social media updates, watching lives back home unfold in fast-forward. The game blends narrative-driven choices with dry humor, letting you react to posts, photos, and messages from friends and strangers as the story branches. A standout for its clever premise and quirky execution, this indie title turns sci-fi weirdness into a relatable commentary on digital addiction. Built as an Antholojam entry, it clocks in under an hour but packs a punch with its deadpan writing and minimalist design. The mix of existential dread and mundane distractions has earned it a cult following among fans of experimental storytelling.
