"A Wise Use of Time" is a thrilling 260,000-word interactive sci-fi novel by Jim Dattilo, author of "Zombie Exodus," winner of the 2011 XYZZY "Special Recognition" award for interactive fiction. Your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based--without graphics or sound effects--and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

When you freeze time, no one can see you, hear you, or stop you, except, perhaps, a handful of mysterious time controllers like yourself. Every second you steal puts more stress on your body and mind.

Will you bring justice to the mobsters who run rampant in your city? Will you steal from them to provide for those in need? Will you share your power with friends and family? Will you destroy your own powers, or will your powers destroy you first?

• Play as male or female; gay, straight, or bisexual.
• Develop relationships with one of four main romantic options (or a secret one). Track your relationships and moral stats as they change.
• Level up your time-control powers, or nullify them to protect yourself and others.

This game was awesome. Wonderful story and great writing. The interesting characters and great amount of choices make this a top choice for cog fans. Probably the best cog of the year. Definitely recommend

Jim D is a fantastic writer, I was first introduced to his most popular story, zombie exodus which was addicting. This one is just as amazing, I was hooked on it from the start. ? highly recommend it to anyone who is skeptical!


YAY

Great story

This is from the author of Zombie Exodus. It's much different than that game, but still very enjoyable. This is more super hero based. I felt the characters were stronger in this game, but I still miss Uncle Lou.


Second best
A choice of gamer

Replay value is there. Interesting content and idea that I can't get enough of. If all the games I've played by these people were rated in order of awesome id say this is second only to the heroes rise games. I am also partial to choice of romance, but eh...I like the drama.


A Wise Use of YOUR Time
Zig Ziggenstein

Imagine waking up one day only to discover that you are able to completely slow time to a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a second. It would appear as if you stopped time completely. What would you do? What kind of person would those powers prove you to be? Would you tell anyone? Your friends? Strangers? And what if using those powers would draw the attention of evil. Would you still use them, even if it meant endangering the lives of the people you loved? This game allows you to make those choices. You can stay true to your character throughout and explore both the scientific and the moral ramifications of having the ability to control time. You will encounter wonderfully developed characters whose friendships and flaws are meaningful to the story. You will have multiple ways to solve situations. It is a great game. You should definitely find the time to play it. :)

Wonderful story all round. Not only is it fun but it'll keep you on the edge of your seat. Pretty affordable too. This game is GREAT


AWESOME.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️?

First game I paid for from this company. I've played Paranoia, the Haunted House for rent game, Choice of Dragon, and Choice of Romance for free. They're all great! This and the haunted house game are my favorites. You can replay several times, with significantly different outcomes, and get to know multiple characters. I'm still working on unlocking some achievements. You won't regret buying this! And if you are hesitant, just remember that $3 for a regular book is a great deal, but you can't choose your path in a regular book. You could also be buying a box of crackers for the same amount of money. But this is more entertaining. Looking forward to more from this company :)


I wish I could give it 6/5
Cool vdog

This game I planned on having for something to do whenever I was bored. It turned out I played at least 3 different play throughs and played for 9 hours straight I couldn't have more respect for the writer. Simply put this is amazing is pay the cost 5x over
