Two nice games: Vicious Cycles and I Have 1 Day

[blueskirt]

Here are two short time related adventure games for you to play today.

The first is called Vicious Cycles, it's a light interactive fiction, no typing involved, hyperlinks do all the dirty work for you, don't let that detail fools you into thinking the game will be easy because it's not. In the game you work for a time travel agency and your task is to prevent a bomb from exploding, every time you die however, and it will happen a lot, your mind is extracted from your body and injected in the body of another bystander, moments before the bomb explodes, ready to give your mission another go. The particularity of the game is that every time you die, you lose your current inventory, but the in-game knowledge your character acquired in your previous, failed attempts, stays with him, which leads to some interesting puzzles.

The second one is called I Have 1 Day, it's a point and click adventure game made in flash, a wizard cursed you and you have exactly one day to reverse the curse, otherwise you die. Although traveling between locations costs you precious hours and all your moves must be carefully calculated in order to reverse the curse, the game comes with a journal that records where you were and what you did every hours of the day, and you can rewind time at your leisure to solve puzzles differently and travel more efficiently to save time. This little game with a nice Last Express vibe can be played here:
