—A vanished expedition. A forgotten underground city. Explore the echoes of a lost civilization in this short first-person adventure, and bend time to solve intricate puzzles woven into the ruins.
A small brain-bending adventure. A vanished expedition. A lost civilization that mastered time. And one person you need to find.
🕰️ Bend time to your will – Slow down, speed up, or freeze objects in time. Experiment with physics-based puzzles that challenge your perception.

🏛️ A world suspended in time – Explore an enigmatic city where time has stopped. Uncover how a civilization that once controlled time thrived… before it collapsed.

📖 A minimalist story – Follow the notes Elia left behind and the silent traces of a lost expedition. Why did Elia come here? What did she uncover? And what price did she pay?

🎵 An immersive world – A distinctive visual style, an original soundtrack, and a melancholic atmosphere draw you into a mysterious universe.
Time stands still in the ruins of a lost civilization. Machines still hum. Statues never crumble. And somewhere in these silent halls, Elia — a member of a vanished expedition — left behind a trail of notes, memories, and purpose.
Trigger of Time is a short, atmospheric first-person adventure (1.5 hours) where time no longer obeys the rules. Use a mysterious artifact to manipulate time locally — slowing, or speeding up objects — and reshape your surroundings to solve physics-based puzzles.
As you follow the footsteps of those who came before you, you’ll uncover the fate of a civilization that dared to master time… and the personal story of one who followed them too far. Will you find her ?
