Time in Place

Time in Place is a cozy, interactive fiction where you experience life's journey through 6 distinct stages, all within the walls of a single, evolving apartment. Detailed, immersive interactions and sounds combine with a colorful, singular art style to create a rich world you can feel at home in.

Endless Mornings

Each of the six levels is an endless morning from a unique period of life. A sunny day to put on the radio and do some chores, or a rainy vibe perfect for playing games and reading. You are free to explore and live in each level as long as you wish and only progress when you choose to. Return to any level later to enjoy its unique interactable objects, activities, and vibes.

Ambient Narrative

An ambient narrative is told through the objects and spaces unique to each level. Dig through drawers and piece together notes on scrap paper to discover backstories and romances. Or let the space and objects communicate the vibe.

Create and Express

Play in-game synthesizers, guitars, and drum machines. Record it all on a retro 4-track cassette recorder and export to mp3. Add your own ending to a short story or poem.

Explore and Discover

Find and listen to multiple vinyl records, take photos on an instant camera, and play with toy trains and cars. Each level has its own unique coffee brewing technique to master, messes to clean, or relaxing activities to enjoy.

Games Within Games

Load up floppy disks, pop in cartridges, and click on icons. Each level contains multiple time period-specific mini games, from text adventure to freely skiing to 64-bit console favorites.

Do what brings you happiness. This is a game about life, about living, and about home.
