Title: Gateway Remake - Advancing Time?
Post by: monele on Tue 24/06/2025 00:44:33
Is time supposed to advance with every action or only at specific points of puzzle progress?

At this point, I know I'm supposed to meet someone in the bar at 8pm but the time shown on the Dataman is stuck at 12:30 no matter where I go or if I use the VR. I tried sleeping in my quarters but the game says we're not sleepy.

Of note: I'm playing this with the last version of Android ScummVM, so I always have to keep in mind that something like this could be a bug.

It is already a few weeks old, but as I'm seeing it now: time only advances at specific points of progress. I don't remember exactly, but there may be a point where you are in hiding and have to wait for a number of seconds, but otherwise time advances only when you finish a specific task.

The flow of the game is the same as in the original version, so a walkthrough should indicate what you may have missed.
I have no idea if android scummvm has any impact on this situation. But many players have played beyond that point so I don't think it is a bug in the original code.
