Overview

  • Time Flies is developed by Michael Frei and Raphaël Munoz of Playables and published by Panic, known for Firewatch and Untitled Goose Game.
  • The hand-drawn black-and-white aesthetic underscores themes of mortality as players complete diverse bucket-list tasks, from learning an instrument to navigating a sticky dessert.
  • At the start, players select a country whose average human lifespan determines a fly’s seconds-long lifespan in each playthrough.
  • Each death resets the game world while learned strategies persist, encouraging iterative play to accomplish more goals on subsequent runs.
  • Panic has launched active wishlist campaigns ahead of release to build momentum among players.
