Panic and Playables have confirmed a release date for their hand-drawn adventure Time Flies on Nintendo Switch.
This is a “short adventure about our limited time in this world,” in which you play as a fly. Your life is short, but your bucket list is long!
Looking to make the best of the time that you have left, you can tick off goals like learning an instrument, reading a book, becoming rich, getting drunk, or making someone smile. If you don’t feel like pursuing them, you can simply relax, clean your wings, and listen to music.
“Flies are pretty annoying, and we’ve been listening to one every day for the past four years of game development,” explains developer Michael Frei. “Please do your part and Wishlist the game now, I really need therapy.”
The publisher has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- Explore a painstakingly hand-drawn, densely detailed world
- Dozens of unique and obscure goals to accomplish
- Numerous intriguing ways to die
- Grimly variable life expectancy based on player location
- Delightfully accurate fly physics
- The most expansive game yet from the mind behind KIDS and Plug & Play
Time Flies will be released digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide on 31 July 2025.
