TimeOut by h8urf8
Hey folks, this is my second entry. And in fact the second game I finished alltogether.
It's a Text-Adventure with pressure of time. And your unique Ability to stop time ... ... ... for 10 seconds.
Should work fine with Windows/Linux/Mac as long OpenGL is supported and there is a Java VM. If not, write it down in the comments, if you like.
Btw game starts Fullscreen. It's for the mood. :P
There might be some mature content, too. But seriously, it's just text.
Also there are no typos in this game. If you find some, you hallucinate and should see a doctor.
Edit: Added version that is windowed. (Experience is better in fullscreen, though.)

Wanted to replay it to see if I could change the output, be the text is displaying too slowly. Is there a key to make it appears completely ?
I thought about it, but I wanted to prevent, that people make the text appear completly and the clock starts running while they still hav to read it.
That's the reason, why it's a bit slow, too. For people, that aren't that good with english.

I actually wrote down 6 sheets in OpenOffice just for the appearing text while it was around 0:00-2:00.
The music sometimes don't give the right mood, and the bugs are confusing... but overall pretty good game!
I think this could be a interesting text adventure without the time limit too. I liked how you got four options to choose between. :)
There appear to be some kind of bug:
After making a bad decision and ending the game I tried starting over and got back to the same decision as I failed on. After picking a better option this time it jumped back to the second decision of the game.
Overall liked the game
btw it seems you've uploaded the wrong source code, looks like it's the code from your game from the 25th Ludum Dare
Thx for the tip with the code. Will fix it tomorrow.
And ofc thx to all who played, rated and commented my game. :)
