Hi. This theme reminded me of one of my favorite games from Ludum Dare 27: "10 seconds to save the day," a story-rich game about people in the afterlife trying to give 10 seconds to the person who can stop the apocalypse. It was really well done. If you have some time and want to see a creative take on the 10 second theme, you can check it out below. (Note, to play Flash games on Kongregate, you need to have SuperNova installed.)
